Voucher - the way the Rich Gaslight the rest into paying for THEIR private education!

Indoctrinated Ignorance on the taxpayers dime... Hell no MAGA!!!

Same in Ohio. Wonder how much DeVos family money made it down to TN.

retiredsexsymbol.bsky.social•33 days ago

Why do Tennesseans keep voting against their own interests? Because our schools have always sucked and most people don’t understand they are hurting themselves. These people are NOT Christians, they are fascists!

They don't care! Still, I'm glad to see people are actually mobilized here.

josette1.bsky.social•33 days ago

They voted for this wtf?

Before voting for vouchers, there should be some transparency on how much money will be given to each child and how much each school will cost to attend. What if a child is given 20,000 but the closest school will cost 50,000

It's even worse in Indiana. We'll be Oklahoma before long.

Wonder if TN will change focus on who it elects?

“We voted for Republicans! Now we’re screwed!”

cindiluwhoo.bsky.social•33 days ago

TENNESSEE voted Republicans. I'm in the Great Blue state of Washington. The democrats still rule in our public schools. djt got 64% of the votes. Marsha Blackburn is still a Republican Senator!! They get what they vote for!!

They will vote republican again

We don't want this. Our schools should be sacrosanct and above the machinizations of political terrorism. Subsidized private schools are a gift to the wealthy and a burden on all taxpayers.

lorij.bsky.social•33 days ago

They don’t care what the people want just like Arkansas. All your tax dollars will be going to religious schools and to give private school discounts to rich people.

So this session was complete political theatre as Commissioners steamrollered over public option and responsibility to constituents by voting for oligarch lobbyist interests instead, Correct?

peggyfrompa.bsky.social•33 days ago

Despicable way to funnel money to the rich and hurt the education of those who need it most!

peerce.bsky.social•33 days ago

By destroying public education, they want low income people to be uneducated. An uneducated workforce is easier to control, manipulate. And private schools can reject minorities and cater to the wealthy.

macpace.bsky.social•33 days ago

When are people going to stop voting for the same people over and over!!! Republicans=not in your best interest. Stop voting for them

jantana.bsky.social•33 days ago

So proud of you all for fighting for this!!

2004spyder.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yet throughout the nation, starting at the grass roots (school boards, state and local government, county commissioners, etc), ya’ll keep voting for these guys who govern against your interests.

benevoluspf.bsky.social•33 days ago

So they’re apparently waking up to the realization that Republicans want them stupid and poor. In Tennessee, at least.

mommabiek59.bsky.social•33 days ago

Except, now there isn't any public money in schools, because the EO has ceased all funding...

janewester.bsky.social•33 days ago

Send this message to Republican legislators:

Stop screwing with our federal workforce, departments and programs. The government is not Twitter, Facebook or Amazon.

RESIGN!!!!!

Sock-puppets serving billionaires ramming school vouchers down the throats of the citizens they are supposed to be serving. This is one of the issues where red and blue can agree, neighbor with neighbor (the only way the working class can beat the oligarchy). Bravo! I hope it makes a difference.

richard435.bsky.social•33 days ago

we all should came out to vote

dreisback.bsky.social•33 days ago

I don't have kids. But other folks paid it forward for my education. I have a duty to pay it forward for the next generation because we need doctors, nurses and scientists. But I'll be damned if my money goes to religious schools who do not trust science!

infinitequestions.bsky.social•32 days ago

Maybe voting for Democrats and rallying your family, friends and neighbors to vote for Democrats every election would have been a more successful strategy than chanting.

cmlondon69.bsky.social•32 days ago

Maybe don’t vote Republican, Tennessee? That would help solve a lot of your problems!

jeromecylin.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yes funds for education are not for one person's bank account.

hourofignorance.bsky.social•31 days ago

Leave the matter of religion to the family circle, the church & the private school supported entirely by private contribution. Keep the church and state forever separate.

Never vote Republican again.

What the hell is the Lottery money for ???

thewiserose.bsky.social•33 days ago

The GOP/MAGA motto seems to be exhaust them until they give up. To see large crowds show up and continue to fight is just amazing and the most powerful statement.
