So, let’s roll up our sleeves and debate. Let the viewers decide. You in?
If, in fact, there is no facts supported debate out of consideration of a strategy to insulate certain Arkansas children from potential financial responsibility under that state's unusual law, it would tend to rule out anything other than racism as the primary reason there has been no sign of debate. Of course, it is possible to suffer from severe mental health issues and still strategize, as Trump himself is doing.
Unfortunately, due to the peculiarity of the "clawback" law in just one state, there is an incentive to avoid confirming if the unresponsiveness to the last 50+ requests for links supported debate is the result of medical disorder, racism aggravated by medical disorder, or a combination of the two. Just as parents deliberately excluded from affordable healthcare coverage in 12 red states by Trump party legislatures and governors refusing medicaid expansion as ACA intended would be hesitant to increase the likelihood of economic ruin by exposing their school age children to school attendance, parents in Arkansas are economically motivated to avoid mental health evaluation potentially exposing their children for the cost of the long term care of the disease of a parent.
Call the last five years what it is, the birther movement was the shot across the bow.
Uppity negro in the White House who was not a janitor or a plantation negro ushered in the era of "race war".
If they can't keep it, "same as it ever was", right down to dirty air and water and energy inefficient vehicles, it's looking like they're content to burn it all down. Nuthin' personal...:

Some observations, and warnings. States, county, and city governments find themselves in dire financial straits due to the interruption in revenue streams resulting from covid-19 effects on economic activity. They will all reduce services and seek innovative methods never widely resorted to previously to collect revenue to literally attempt to continue to function.

....read of the detailed lunacy, state by state, of the republican/Trump party state legislatures and governors in their nine years effort to deny legislative accomplishment to "the negro in the White House", first by relabeling the ACA as "Obamacare" in an effort to disparage this vital and prescient health care reform resulting in elimination of pre-existing medical conditions as disqualifying affordability by private health insurance issuers to all but the wealthiest.
Just three states, combine population of 58 million, Texas, Florida, and Georgia, "enjoy" at least 5 million residents without affordable healthcare coverage during covid-19 pandemic.
VS in California, a state of 40 million with almost all qualified under ACA medicaid expansion are protected with affordable healthcare coverage and have the ability, economically, to seek timely treatment for symptoms of illness instead of dragging themselves to their jobs until their illness feels acute enough to seek much more expensive ER diagnosis and care, the cost unreimbursed to states still refusing to accept ACA medicaid expansion.
Why would any of the primarily working poor parents in states denying ACA medicaid expansion coverage to them, risk sending their kids into schools without adequate access to testing or followup tracing, while risking their kids bringing covid-19 home from schools, raising the risk of parents with no affordable healthcare coverage and the risk of needing medical care resulting in economic ruin?
Lay offs of state and local government employees are only at the early stages. Moscow Donald & Mitch blocked legislating direct aid to help states and local governments continue to provide services during this crisis while continuing to employ as many as needed to maintain vital services and efficient government while addressing local pandemic response.
The "Moscow Boys" claimed the need was primarily in blue states and there was little political benefit in appropriating financial aid too states in which the majority do not vote Trump party and providing temporary financial support would be rewarding fiscally irresponsible states with large unfunded pension obligations, such as Illinois. It mattered not that Moscow Mitch's state of Kentucky is one of the two poorest states and also has a "top ten" unfunded pension obligation.
In this example, it seems wise to avoid burdening the kids down the road by at least trying to "nip in the bud", the health disorder we've witnessed in a plethora symptoms filled posts. The alternative is to heavily burden the kids down the road. This is not a set up for improvement, if left unevaluated and untreated. The illness, similarly to covid-19, is not going to just disappear.
"Many people don't know" that in 26 states, children can be held financially for the $5,000 monthly cost of long term care each state medicaid program pays for the majority of elderly who require such care.
This state, however, has a narrower requirement for children to pay back medicaid.:

1. Arkansas law can only require payment for adult mental care.
