Parents already have control. They can choose to homeschool. They can choose to send their children to parochial school. Stop presenting this as a government-provided enablement of parental control. Parents can review curriculum and elect new school officials.

I just sent a message urging my Congressional lawmakers to prioritize gun safety this year. 125 people are killed by guns every day, so we canโ€™t afford inaction. Send a message to your lawmakers now: etwn.us/4j5mZ9N @Everytown

I thought special sessions were for emergency situations. Vouchers are not an emergency. Whatโ€™s the governors rush? Trying to hurry before people reach out to their legislators? #NoVouchersTN
TN Gov. Lee has repeatedly said โ€œnothing is off the tableโ€ when it comes to passing school vouchers. Heโ€™s considering a special legislative session to press his plan, which he says needs to be โ€œaddressed soon.โ€ nashvillebanner.com/2025/01/โ€ฆ

Fishy,fishy, fishyโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆwonder why the governor only believes certain data? Who will gain from his plan? Thatโ€™s the data I want to see.
Gov. Lee is defensive of โ€” even denies โ€” data that show students participating in TNโ€™s 3-county pilot voucher program (โ€œESAโ€) underperform public school peers. The accountability measure he recognizes is parentsโ€™ satisfaction, claiming 99% with ESA. fox17.com/news/crisis-in-theโ€ฆ

Itโ€™s wrong to tie vouchers to disaster relief. Letโ€™s pick a proper priority @GovBillLee.
As a reminder, East TN communities and school systems are still suffering from hurricane damage. Tying disaster relief and school infrastructure funding to a bill the public does not want feels wrong to me. TN school funding already earns an F.

School vouchers were initially sold with the ruse of helping low-income families find better schools for their children. Now, as vouchers are going universal, itโ€™s the wealthy who are benefiting. politico.com/news/2023/11/22โ€ฆ ncnewsline.com/2024/03/12/ncโ€ฆ

There is speculation that Gov. Lee might call a special legislative session to push through his private school voucher program. [Special sessions are generally called to deal with emergency issues. Is passage of vouchers an emergency?] nashvillebanner.com/2025/01/โ€ฆ

Strange, same thing happened in TN. Coincidence? I wonder if there was any billionaire and special interest influence in TX, like there was in TN? @GovBillLee and TN legislators need to know this does not equal a public mandate. #NoVouchersTN
Earlier year, Texas Gov. Abbott โ€” with help from outside groups and their money โ€” was able to defeat enough Republican pro-public school lawmakers, he thinks, to pass his private school voucher plan in 2025. But he hasnโ€™t crushed all opposition. conchovalleyhomepage.com/newโ€ฆ

Re: Vouchers in TN - why donโ€™t all the billionaires and special interest groups from outside TN just fund scholarships for kids to attend private schools?Theyโ€™ve spent money on buying legislators, TV ads and who knows what else. You want kids to go to private schools, you pay for that to happen. #NoVouchersTN

The last 8 years have been the best years of my life. My kids have grown up attending countless games, drama performances, and basketball camps. Itโ€™s all they know. It breaks my heart that Iโ€™m leaving, but I know itโ€™s best for my family. I will forever be a Blackman Blaze.
