If you can listen to this mom of a child with special needs and still be for vouchers, you seriously need to do some soul searching. Not one single private school said they would take her student - in writing. Vouchers are NOT for all. Certainly not our most vulnerable.

Everyone rises to excellence or eases into mediocrity.

Wow. newschannel5.com/news/newschann…

The Voucher Bill sponsor said the quiet part out loud. Any Representative voting for this Voucher Bill does NOT support Public Schools and can NOT claim themselves a Fiscal Conservative. The two are mutually exclusive. Voters should remember and treat them accordingly.

INBOX: “Thousands of Tennesseans Oppose Arming Teachers… 4300 signatures, including from Ryan Williams’s district…” Covenant Mom Sarah Shoop Neumann gathers support for a letter to Williams & TNGOP leadership opposing his arming teachers bill. Add yours: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

The Voucher bill is officially dead for this session. It will inevitably come back next session, but there are elections between now and then. Your vote matters more than ever - make sure you vote for law makers who support public education! tennessean.com/story/news/pol…

I was a special education teacher for 27 years, so I know a thing or two about what teachers need to teach and what our students need to thrive. I will always stand tall against “leaders” who are more focused on attacking our public schools than they are on investing in them.

Cats beat Maryville 9-5 in the AAAA Region 2 Runner-Up game and are headed to a Section 1 game for the first time since 1993. Alex got the win, Peyton the save. Big night at the plate for Caden and Richie. Go Ridge!

It’s been 52 years. Well done!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Public dollars should STAY in Public Schools. Vouchers will defund our schools.

Matt Damon: “A teacher wants to teach.” The son of a public school teacher, he defends teachers as heroes we should be grateful for rather than villains we should be threatening to punish — as pro-privatization forces would have us believe.

A school voucher is not a ticket to a quality private school. Voucher-accepting non-public schools are usually “pop-ups” affiliated with a religion and often financially unstable. Their students generally underachieve public school peers, academically. edtrust.org/wp-content/upl…
