Bigotry suffers a blow

During the local public radio station’s coverage of the committee hearing, I heard a teen-age girl say much the same thing about her classmates. Attitudes can be slow to change. Convictions are even more intractable. Still, it’s a hopeful sign that the House Judiciary Committee failed to recommend passage of SB 959. In fact, I’d go so far as to say that institutionalized bigotry in Arkansas suffered a much-needed blow as a result of it.
