Friends who aren’t in TN: this legislation aims to invoke litigation to attempt to overturn the 1982 Plyer vs. Doe Supreme Court ruling that ensures educational access for all students. If overturned, the ruling would apply to your states as well.

BREAKING: While boasting on Fox News about her efforts to dismantle the Department of Education, Linda McMahon couldn’t even explain what the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) is. This is the person trying to destroy education in America. Let that sink in.

Folks, this is EXACTLY what is wrong with charter schools. They are NOT public schools! This school was started by a venture capitalist, not an educator and they have been open for years and still not set up for background checks?! #malpractice wbir.com/article/news/e…

🔥 WATCH: Rep. Sam McKenzie (D-Knoxville) rips CLARKSVILLE Rep. Rep. Aron Maberry’s anti-DEI crusade, saying it will lead to the “stinky water” of nepotism, exclusion and uniformity — as seen in the 99% white Republican supermajority.

Yep, it’s so great for the world to see the truth that many of us always knew. The TN GOP falsified documents to frame a young black activist. They lie, cheat, commit fraud, and defame while calling us the criminals. newschannel5.com/news/newschann…

TN’s kindergarten cutoff age for school enrollment is 5 years old before August 15th, unless a school director approves a student with a birthdate before Sept. 30. The voucher ad indicates students who are 5 before Sept 30 may enroll.

Hey substitute teachers! Thanks for helping; you are needed and appreciated. One small ask though…please have students call you “Mr. Henderson” or “Mrs. Baptiste.” Not “Mr. Frank” or “Miss Jeanette.” It’s not pre-school or camp. Tighten up. Thanks again!

Missy Testerman always wanted to be a teacher. After 30 years in the classroom, she sought out an ESL endorsement to fill a need in her rural district and support English language learners. “I was invested in them and their families.” bit.ly/4dmEbVE
