Arkansas’s governor, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, is being praised by conservatives for her handling of a demand from an association of atheists and agnostics miffed by her decision to include a “theological account of the Christian story of Jesus’ birth” in her official proclamation closing state offices for Christmas.
