Fully KeptFact-checker reviewConfidence: 97%

Both cited sources are reachable and confirm the promise's three components, all delivered on her first day. The PRIMARY source (Arkansas Governor's office) documents the "Executive Order to Prohibit Indoctrination and Critical Race Theory in Schools," signed January 10, 2023, with the exact quoted language "no school employee or student shall be required to attend trainings or orientations based on prohibited indoctrination or CRT." The REPUTABLE_SECONDARY source (UALR Public Radio, an NPR affiliate) confirms she signed seven executive orders on her January 10, 2023 inauguration day, including (1) "a promotion and hiring freeze for all state government workers," (2) an order that "will prevent government agencies from implementing new regulations without her approval," and (3) an order "prohibiting 'indoctrination and Critical Race Theory in schools.'" All quotes in the rating appear in the sources (minor paraphrase, substantively accurate). The "political indoctrination in schools" promise maps cleanly to the actual anti-indoctrination order. FULL is correct — all three promised orders signed on day one exactly as pledged. CHAMPIONED is properly not claimed: these are self-executing gubernatorial orders, not legislative leadership beyond a vote.
