A sad day for the kids in Tennessee.

Any politician who votes FOR vouchers knows it is a move to segregate education again.

So how does this work when Dump dismantles the DOE?

duvedvm.bsky.social•23 days ago

I am so sorry to read this.

themjmonet.bsky.social•23 days ago

This is a very sad day for Tennesseans. The people spoke out against this and lawmakers did not vote on our behalf.

I thought this special session was about natural disaster aid?

greenbees77.bsky.social•23 days ago

Hopefully some day @GovBillLee will understand how his depravity and greed fucked over thousands and thousands of children. What an ass

amuseme65.bsky.social•23 days ago

He already knows and approves.

greenbees77.bsky.social•23 days ago

Tragic

vakraft.bsky.social•23 days ago

There goes Tennessee's educational system. That's not helping anyone at all

lmandryk.bsky.social•23 days ago

Now go and tell everybody that you prayed about it and God told you to be evil and cruel. Christianity on the US is a scam.

So disheartening

mizewell.bsky.social•23 days ago

Disgusting.

itsmikeschwartz.bsky.social•23 days ago

So sorry, Tennessee.

Y'all deserve so much better than the clown show you have.

youngcrone.bsky.social•23 days ago

Republicans again going 'What will of the people?' 'What proven scam?'

they-call-me-kudos.bsky.social•23 days ago

Hope people come together to vote these criminals out!

elizabeth-sullivan.bsky.social•22 days ago

It was passed from the start. The hearing were nothing more than a show

🤬 Education (indoctrination) by and for The Rich - and f**k everyone else.

amuseme65.bsky.social•23 days ago

Eat the rich. Or, just tax the rich. And remove their lackies from office. However it must be done.

dangfine.bsky.social•23 days ago

Sorry Tennessee. Capitalism and greed wins again.

deedledu.bsky.social•23 days ago

A school in SoCal called “Einstein Academy” took money from public schools for their charter and mismanaged $3M. They were eventually shut down. The ENTIRE community, but especially the children, lost out on this cash grab by incompetents.

jukesgrrl.bsky.social•23 days ago

Holler, you've done a holluva job covering this story. Kudos!

scruffytennessee.bsky.social•23 days ago

As if we couldn't get any dumber here in Tennessee.

aubreelane3.bsky.social•23 days ago

I’m so sorry.

harrytwister.bsky.social•23 days ago

No teacher wants this.

mustangsuzy.bsky.social•22 days ago

Time to file a lawsuit!

nashbroncofan.bsky.social•23 days ago

Once again Lee fails Tennesseans…

cashloots.bsky.social•23 days ago

Tennessee voters voted for this. I hope they get what they deserve, absolutely fucked!

amuseme65.bsky.social•23 days ago

Appreciation to The Holler for raising national awareness. To all of us not in TN, a warning that this is all of us and the time is urgent. For TN and for all of states, every “representative” to be on notice and standing up for the future of TN children and all of the US future in their hands.

amuseme65.bsky.social•23 days ago

It is the intent of our moneyed overlords under W. Bush’s No Child Left Behind Act (circa 2002) to deprive future generations of public school, working class students of learning to think critically. Compliance has been codified and enforced with taxpayer money by complicit lawmakers.

coloradocarol.bsky.social•23 days ago

Vultures are far better people than those Republicans.

krisdavis.bsky.social•23 days ago

Sad

cebucathy.bsky.social•23 days ago

Sad state of affairs for my grandkids.

zally7.bsky.social•23 days ago

Sorry Tennessee

mbltc.bsky.social•23 days ago

This is just a giant wealth transfer to the wealthy and a tool for indoctrination. Tennessee’s public health system just took another hit. I guess the governor wants to see how low he can drive student scores down in math and literacy.

thewiserose.bsky.social•23 days ago

The actual TN citizens who showed up were against them & the only ones happy were the money grubbing lobbyists....completely disgusting. Everyone who voted for vouchers just bankrupted TN & destroyed small communities.

Lee & Sexton don't care about TN & they hate your kids.

furiousteddy.bsky.social•23 days ago

Remember this in the next election cycle.

thewiserose.bsky.social•23 days ago

I've never voted for any of them prior because they've been horrible for a long time, but today was a new low.

TN has such low voter turnout. I hope ppl start exercising that right more. It could really change TN politics.

onefastmutt.bsky.social•23 days ago

Yeah, right u gonna support the R who supports school vouchers or the other R who supports school vouchers. Or another R who opposes school vouchers but is batshit crazy for something else equally stupid. Sorry, frustrated & angry. Not at you. They do not care & will never be held accountable.

furiousteddy.bsky.social•23 days ago

Ugh

hoppy75.bsky.social•23 days ago

Good luck, TN! Prepare for your education standards to fall below FL and MS!

amuseme65.bsky.social•23 days ago

The whole nation’s accomplishments have fallen since Reagan’s war on the working classes started. Swimming for bottom place is the US is a shallow dive. We are all drowned in a metaphoric ocean under other industrialized countries where our jobs were outsourced because we are too dumb to do them.

khreflectlife.bsky.social•23 days ago

Why am I not surprised, Tennessee. The state with fundamental problems with closing cases involving children takes from the mouths of babes and laughs ... Sick.

stellablueal.bsky.social•23 days ago

This won't change until TN citizens care about politics and/or realize this policy is against the majorities' interests. My life in AL gives me slim hope that it will change.
