Bear witness.
Every weekend I think of the best diary entry ever:
Directly after Gov. Bill Lee signed arming teachers into law, his home county school system (Williamson County Schools) said they will NOT authorize teachers to carry weapons. A statement will be tweeted below.
Some straight talk from an influential school privatization group here: the goal isn't to get kids out of *failing schools* but to prop up failing churches
Some straight talk from an influential school privatization group here: the goal isn't to get kids out of *failing schools* but to prop up failing churches
Gov. Bill Lee has officially signed into law the bill that would make it possible for teachers to carry guns into the classroom. Background: newschannel5.com/news/tennessee…
TN lawmakers reach deal on business franchise tax in the final hours of session bit.ly/3QjTeFq “The price tag on the bill is $1.5 billion.” We could have fed all TN children in school—free to families —for a decade. Savings per child of $1200/year. 🤷🏻♀️
JUST NOW: LOBBYISTS watched Senate Republicans pass their multi-BILLION dollar corporate tax giveaway (mostly to out of state companies) like it was the Super Bowl @SenJohnson (and @GovBillLee) worked hard to shield companies from real transparency
Of course they do….
Tennessee lawmakers approve legislation that gives parents of struggling 4th-grade readers a say in retention decisions chalkbeat.org/tennessee/2024…
Yet again. The Rs who have nothing to fear or lose vote differently.
Yet again. The Rs who have nothing to fear or lose vote differently.
Update: House sponsor "optimistic" about compromise to revise a 2021 reading & retention law that threatens to hold back thousands of TN 4th-graders. "We are going to get something done. It’s too important not to," says @garyhicksjr. chalkbeat.org/tennessee/2024…
“We asked them to listen. We asked for them to work w/us to hear our real-life stories & make it better,” Melissa Alexander on IG. “This election is our turn. The supermajority is dangerous for TN, & we need more moderate candidates in office. Period.” wsmv.com/2024/04/24/cov…
WATCH: “I am absolutely baffled.” @JRClemmons (D-Nashville) reacts to @tnhousegop Republicans killing his amendments to the @RyanWilliamsTN arming teachers bill that would require SAFE STORAGE on campus and adequate training for those who choose to carry around kids.
Why does the free mkt logic fail in education? A long thread below. Very relevant to current #vouchers #ESA debate. You can see the whole paper (ungated) here: edworkingpapers.com/authors/dougla… + journal version here: journals.sagepub.com/stoken/default…
See how a Republican votes when he is beholden to no one?
See how a Republican votes when he is beholden to no one?
JUST NOW: House Republicans passed an @Jodyforstaterep Barrett bill to ban local communities from passing extreme risk protection laws — making it harder for them to keep guns from dangerous people. Sam Whitson joined the Dems in opposition.

Pro-public education advocates in TN have a lot to do in the next 9 months. I'm going to be reflecting on the work I have done in terms of data. We in Tennessee need to reflect on the work we've done this year. Time to prepare.
Over the next few months, many promises will be made. But as we consider the promises, may we never forget the track record. Public education matters. Representation matters. Equity matters. And it is imperative that the voice of the people matters.
Finally.
Tennessee lawmakers approve legislation that gives parents of struggling 4th-grade readers a say in retention decisions chalkbeat.org/tennessee/2024…
Nice to see at least one GOP legislator understands there's a public cost to passing unconstitutional legislation. It is dereliction of duty and a violation of public trust when they enact laws that are clearly going to be successfully litigated and tossed.
Happy Miss Congeniality Day to all who celebrate!
@TheTNHoller @WCSedu Won't this effect various insurance rates or is the school district self insured. I see maga going full crazy on a lot in red states. A big overlook is the hidden cost not considered when you make laws like insurances. Example. FL & GA with water bans for breaks. Workman comp.
@TheTNHoller @WCSedu Can we please recognize that the *same people that argued for gun classes for students because "everyone needs to know how to safely operate firearms".. Then blocked an amendment to train the teachers they're giving firearms?? It's not about safety. x.com/thetnholler/st…
WATCH: “I am absolutely baffled.” @JRClemmons (D-Nashville) reacts to @tnhousegop Republicans killing his amendments to the @RyanWilliamsTN arming teachers bill that would require SAFE STORAGE on campus and adequate training for those who choose to carry around kids.
Filled with more gratitude than words can express to announce that @mariamaelba and I are Livingston Award finalists for our work on domestic violence and guns in Tennessee. wallacehouse.umich.edu/livingston-awa… @WPLN @propublica @UMWallaceHouse
Our goal in education is success for every child by educating them to the greatest potential. We hear policymakers tout parental satisfaction, and student satisfaction. These are by-products, not the goal.
My classroom #Titans flags live to see another session!
While mayhem ensued in the House Chamber today the Senate Chamber quietly and stealthily killed the flag bill. There are so many ways to love democracy.
This goes against everything law enforcement has recommended.
@VoteBo BREAKING: The Arming Teacher Bill passes with only a few Republicans voting no. The gallery erupts in chants “Blood on your hands.” They are now being removed.
I've spent years fighting against arming teachers in schools. To see a bunch of folks eating Chick Fil A while making it a state law today was borh surreal and disgusting. It was a real kick in the gut, and I am so sorry I failed my kids and their teachers...
$144M for 20,000 kids to compete for 4,000 available seats in private schools. $261M for the remaining 1,061,100 Tennessee children in public schools. Whose choice again, @GovBillLee?
