It appears that most of the new school voucher recipients were already attending private schools, which means in addition to funding public education, taxpayers are also funding a significant portion of private education. https://t.co/ZfGNvVU3NB
Educators are proud to teach the history of the Civil Rights Movement. We expect that history to be respected, not rewritten, erased, or pushed aside.

Not mentioned in this story about a populist challenger vs the conservative establishment in North Carolina: the role that school vouchers are playing in fueling grassroots anger on the right. The *horse-riding sheriff* says vouchers are a give-a-way to the rich
Tennessee can choose to invest in strong, accountable public schools that serve all students and anchor our communities, or it can continue expanding a voucher program that lacks transparency while draining resources from the schools most families rely on.

“Why are you against tracking how many voucher kids were already in private schools?”
Koch-backed @AFPTN lobbyist @MichaelLotfi claims it’s a “privacy issue” (nah), then admits they believe not all should chip in for public schools🤔
Their truth. (One @GovBillLee won’t admit)

Public dollars should support secular public schools — not religious instruction. We must protect public education. Read about TN parents and faith leaders doing just that. #NoWilberforceAcademy https://t.co/6Ohbz0a9BS
From @TNEdReport: “Across the state, people are calling on @GovBillLee to do the right thing - to feed hungry kids in all 95 counties in 2026.”
Wild that Bill needs to be begged by clergy and county mayors to feed kids.

Thanks to veteran journalist and policy advocate, @TheAndySpears, for covering our plan to eliminate hundreds of thousands in medical debt for Tennesseans. For far too many in our state, healthcare is a luxury. When I'm Governor, we'll make sure it's a right. Read the story at https://t.co/4Uq3oO7Mhf
