TN Republican supermajority is terrible on education. Also terrible on honesty. Vouchers don't work- research shows. The bigger the program, the worse the outcomes. So what's really going on? The conservative culture war, which proceeds by lies and misinformation. I'm disgusted.

If you’re a Tennessean who cares about the future of our state then you’re opposed to vouchers. It will destroy public ed and raise your taxes- the only winners are out-of-state private investors- your tax $ will go to them while our kids lose the opportunity for a better future.

GOV. LEE: “I’m not gonna compromise on accountability for public schools.” REPORTER: “Does that apply to private schools that take vouchers also?” Gov. Bill Lee: “…..That’s yet to be seen… details haven’t been worked out…” 🤔 The head-scratch says it all. #LeesVoucherScam

The Tennessee legislature is back in session today — but from Gov. Lee's voucher scam to banning Pride flags, the GOP's agenda is unpopular and unserious. We don't want to fight stupid culture wars, we want to fund our schools.

We sent all our kids to public school for the first time this year and boy, have I developed a lot of bitterness toward all the people who spent my entire life bad-mouthing public schools and the teachers who work there.

1/ THE MYTH OF GOOD CHRISTIAN KIDS: For years, a specific segment of American Christendom has made the myth of "good Christian kids" their cause. Some out of paranoia, some from ignorance, others for grift. I was raised in Kirk's world, I can tell you from first-hand experience.

I’m kinda honored that the Heritage Foundation was so worried about my book The Privateers they had a 2000 word attack in the can for pub day. The Koch-funded Ed Next gave them the space to do it. Vouchers lead the edu agenda of Heritage’s #Project2025 Stay focused, folks.

MEMPHIS SENATOR Senator Raumesh Akbari: “This is an act of hate. You cannot call it anything but racism. You cannot sugarcoat this.” Tennessee Republicans are diluting Black representation with white power, stripping their seat in Congress. #JimCrow Gov. Bill Lee Sen. Marsha Blackburn
