阿肯色州立法者提出了名为《阿肯色州获得教育法》的法案,旨在全面改革国家的高等教育制度。 Arkansas lawmakers have advanced a bill called the Arkansas ACCESS Act, aimed at overhauling the state's higher education system. 该法案在桑德斯总督的支持下,力求改善入学率和可负担性,同时重组州教育委员会。 The bill, backed by Governor Sanders, seeks to improve access and affordability, while also restructuring state education boards. 然而,它引发了对可能限制学生政治参与和抗议的规定的争议。 However, it has sparked controversy over provisions that could limit student political participation and protests. 该法案现已进入众议院和参议院,现已修订,允许学生在父母允许的情况下免职参加学生抗议活动,但仍然面临教育工作者和学生的反对,他们担心该法案会扼杀民主参与。 The bill, now headed to the House and Senate floors, has been amended to allow excused absences for student protests with parental permission, but it still faces opposition from educators and students who fear it could stifle democratic engagement.
