#Tennessee became aware of the educational ‘impact’ of #HillsdaleCollege when governor #BillLee thought it would be a good idea to get out-of-state help with #K12 #education.
After moderate governors from each party - who realize the importance of high-quality #PublicEducation to our future economy - the #NAEP ‘national report card’ said our ‘historic rise’ led the nation in 2013. ✅

#BananaRepublicans in #Tennessee control the Executive Branch and both chambers of the #TNleg , by a supermajority. Governor #BillLee called a Special Session to pass new #GunLaws to protect children after the #CovenantSchoolShooting in #Nashville.
As expected, the #ClownCarousel was a #DoNothing circus. Proving #Republicans care more about #GunRights that children’s lives. 🤷🏻♂️ https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/tennessee-special-session-ends-without-new-gun-reforms/ar-AA1fZ0un

#Tennessee governor #BillLee apparently thinks #HillsdaleCollege is what’s needed to put our #PublicEducation on the ‘correct’ path. 🤔
Previously, the path of #PublicEducation in Tennessee, according to #NAEP , was a HISTORIC RISE. 👉 https://www.tn.gov/former-governor-haslam/news/2013/11/7/tennessee-students-the-fastest-improving-in-the-nation.html

Federal judge rejects #Tennessee #DragShow ban as unconstitutional
Tennessee Governor #BillLee in February had signed the bill passed by the state's assembly that aimed to restrict drag performances, putting the state at the forefront of a #Republican-led effort to limit drag in at least 15 states in recent months.
#GLAAD, a LGBTQ advocacy group, praised Parker's decision. "This ruling is a turning point and we will not go back," GLAAD said in a release.

Teachers in #Tennessee celebrated #TeacherAppreciationWeek with hope in a new Commissioner of #Education. https://mainstreetmediatn.com/articles/cheathamcountyexchange/opinion-advice-for-the-new-commissioner-of-education/?pubid=murfreesboropost
They won’t miss the old one, who was just a smiling face to mask the fact that #BananaRepublicans want to destroy #PublicEducation. But the reported reason she left NOW is interesting: The feeble response of governor #BillLee to #CovenantSchoolShooting.

Tennessee’s Governor Calls for Expanding a Gun Dispossession System Already Failing Domestic Violence Victims
==
After the Covenant School shooting, Gov. Bill Lee went beyond state Republicans in calling for reform. But the system he is embracing already allows violent people to hold on to their weapons.

Tennessee is already in the spotlight for racism. I think this story also deserves national attention.

Ultimatum from his wife?
#BillLee, #republican deathcult member, lies again about how much he cares about you and your kids.
Remeber, his party really believes that your children getting murdered in school is a small price for him to pay for his freedom to play with his manly guns and take massive amounts of money from gun makers.
#Tennesseeans continue voting for this self-serving asshole.

Notable shitbags Ron Desantis and Bill Lee are having an event on April 3rd in Franklin. Probably to fearmonger more about trans lives and to spout more fascist rhetoric.
You can claim up to 4 free tickets here with just an email and a name.
It'd be a terrible shame if all the seats got reserved and then nobody showed up. What a tragedy that would be
