Liberty Christian School in Durham, NC got nearly $1m in public voucher funding this year. This school reserves the right to expel students who listen to "inappropriate" music at home.Ā The public should not be funding institutions with these control issues. #ncpol #nced
In 2019, worried that conservative voices were being silenced, TX Gov. Abbott signed a law to enshrine new free speech protections on college campuses. Last week, he cheered police who pushed a different group of student protesters to the ground w/ batons. texastribune.org/2024/04/29/ut-ā¦

This graphic from @NashvillePEF does a good job compiling the independent evidence on vouchers in one graphic. And these sorry outcomes are probably the most generous evidence-based takeāattainment results have been flat more recently, including where test scores cratered.

1/2 Important to understand that deskilling teachers is at the heart of Direct Instruction. Its pioneer, uber-behaviorist Sig Engelmann, said, "The teacher must be viewed as a consumer of instruction material." Also: "We don't give a damn about what the teacher thinks [or] feels"
The next time someone needlessly points out a personās race or ethnicity in a story, use it as an opportunity. Remember this fundamental rule of teaching: SAFELY make people aware of what they donāt know! Then take the discussion deeper. āš¾šŗšøšŗš¦
Years ago, working on a voucher evaluation led by pro-voucher scholars, a couple other then-junior analysts and I found a troubling pattern. At-risk kids left vouchers at very high rates. But they did better switching to public school. We published that separately in 2013š

Churches & church schools are exempt from the Americans with Disabilities Act. Wild to see @GovBillLee use his government account to declare government isnāt the answer, after churches lobbied Congress for the right to exclude disabled people from their spaces & services.
Great to join @DIDD_TN at the Serenity Symposium to engage faith leaders in supporting individuals with disabilities & their caregivers. Government isnāt the answer to the greatest challenges we face - the people are - & we thank the faith community for serving Tennesseans.
Herzog is one of the big new voucher lobby players pushing voucher schemes. They admit vouchers are about destroying public schools and pushing up church attendance rates.
They hate democracy. Pay attention to what is happening in our state government.
Protester Allison Polidor refused to leave the House gallery after some protesters called out and Speaker Sexton ordered the gallery cleared. Ms. Polidor kept telling the troopers that she had been quiet and had not done anything wrong. 3/
Cepicky out here trying every single trick to ram Gov Lee's #VoucherScam through, despite 80% of Tennesseans being against this program. Real GOPsplaining "I know better than you" vibes from a non-educator with kids in private school. Conflict of interest? š
CONFIRMED: Despite denials, Maury County Republican Scott @CepickyTn64 has drafted an amendment to HB 390 to impose school vouchers. House Speaker @CSexton25 pulled Cepicky into a side room at the beginning of the session. At last check, the amendment has not been filed.
Dreams become reality. Rickea Jackson becomes the next in an impressive line of Lady Vol standouts to join the @LASparks! #WNBADraft
