Unqualifie­d, lacking

-

Gov. Sarah Sanders loves to attack, degrade and accuse good Arkansans who think and vote differentl­y from her, using select words, spewing and repeating nonstop.

Her favorite word is woke. Sarah can make that word sound so dirty.

I guess it’s my age, but I think of woke as a good word, a good state of being. I woke up this morning, thanks be to God. I woke up this afternoon from my nap, hallelujah.

Confused, I looked up the word woke. According to Websters Dictionary, being woke means a person is informed, aware and conscious of social injustice. Being woke means paying attention to important facts and issues.

Being unwoke is to be closed-minded. Governor Sanders demonstrat­es this frequently; it is her way, her beliefs that matter. She is better.

Being unwoke is to be selfish; Governor Sanders wanted a high-dollar lectern, no matter the cost to one of the poorest states in the United States. Yes, I know it was paid by your party when your cover-up failed. I am woke; I know a scam when I see one.

Being unwoke is to be anti-education. Governor Sanders’ LEARNS Act debacle is gutting the educationa­l process. Dictating what can or cannot be taught. Banning African American history. What culture, race will be next? Think about it, folks. Your history can be banned by this unwoke person who decides what counts and what does not.

Being unwoke is to be cruel in one’s ability to dismiss the lives of others. Governor Sanders brags about taking the poorest of the poor and kicking them off Medicaid. So proud of these negative accomplish­ments.

Something is terribly wrong with a leader who delights in Arkansans being hungry, facing winter and major holidays without assistance.

Governor Sanders, for the good of all Arkansans, stop the selfish, uncaring, nasty behavior and that cutting robotic language. It really gets old, showing how unqualifie­d and lacking you are. Wake up!
