Seeing schools as the centers of their communities is why the Christian fascists want to break them up.

He's an idiot

Because he doesn’t care about rural Tennessee.

And how much buyer’s remorse will the people of TN have when private school vouchers are FEDERALLY shoved down their throats by the admin they just voted for?

People just don't want to pay for rich people to send their kids to private school.

What people don't understand about voting against these things directly yet still voting for the people trying to put them in place is that those politicians will find a way - even if they use the federal level to override the state level. Or just make an excuse to ignore the vote.

Dems nationally failing to close the circle with the public that the right wing end goal is to erode our sense of community. A real lost opportunity that we’re all going to pay for.

Iowa fell for the same thing, sorry to say.

I think it's because we were able to successfully point out how this would ultimately raise local property taxes, at least in part.
That's the editorial drum I beat, anyway.

Well that's a bit of good news - According to current data, around 54% of American adults read below a sixth-grade level, which means roughly two-thirds of the population does not reach that reading proficiency level.

We need to fix public education not dismantle it #teachers

Or that Starlink was adjusted to affect trump/Harris voters & didn’t care about any other races.

I cannot wrap my mind around voters voting for abortion, against vouchers but for Trump.

Sounds like this should be an issue Dems should bring front & center. Make republican opponents fully come out against these unpopular policies, which will piss off their donors.
