Christian Nationalist Jason Rapert Topples The Arkansas
State Library Board
April 16, 2025
.
"In 2023, Arkansas Gov. Big Sarah Huckabee Sanders appointed Christian nationalist activist and a zealously anti-LGBTQ and anti-choice former state senator Jason Rapert to the state library board.
.
From the start of his term on the state library board, Rapert regularly clashed with his fellow board members over their refusal to support his far-right agenda, prompting him to complain that he was a victim of a "hostile work environment” because he is “a Christian white male.”
.
On Tuesday, Arkansas legislators acted on Rapert's advice, passing a bill that fires every member of the board and gives Gov. Big Sarah Sanders the power to replace them all."
