School choice works and Tennessee is proof. 54,000 applications for Education Freedom Scholarships this year alone. Parents know best, and 34,000 students are still waiting. We owe it to these children to deliver!
Gov. Bill Lee@GovBillLee

We gave families school choice with the Education Freedom Scholarship program - because parents know best. This year, we've received 54,000 applications so far for 20,000 spots. Right now, 34,000 students are still waiting for a shot at Education Freedom. We owe it to them.

@SenJohnson Why are you giving government handouts to parents that could already afford private school?

@SenJohnson School choice is welfare for the rich. What's the average income of those 54,000 applications?

@SenJohnson People being willing to take their neighbors’ tax dollars to pay for their own kids’ private school isn’t really proof that it works.

@SenJohnson You are a bitch for giving money that should go to public schools to your rich donors so it’s cheaper for their kids to go to private school. Straight up a bitch. You should feel deep shame and not be able to sleep

@SenJohnson How many of those already had kids in private school and just got a public taxpayer funded subsidization?

@SenJohnson it’s funneling public funds for those already in private schools.

No official third-party data exists for Tennessee, as the Dept. of Education doesn't track prior enrollment. However, independent analyses cite the state's fiscal memo estimating 65% of 2025-26 scholarships went to students already in private schools, based on patterns from eight similar programs in other states. Sources include Tennessee Lookout and ESA Tracker reports.

@SenJohnson Why should my tax dollars pay for private schools for the white rich families? Why should my tax dollars pay for religious indoctrination? This is project 2025 a freaking scam!

@SenJohnson This is nowhere near the number of kids who should experience true school choice in this state. Every family deserves the education $ to use as they choose.

@SenJohnson I don't get it. SNAP benefits have to be means tested, but private school vouchers don't?

@SenJohnson It would help to have college teach classical learning to the new students entering the teaching profession. There must be a sustained effort to overcome the cultural Marxism education indoctrination our teachers receive; then pass on to students. Liberty must be learned.

@SenJohnson @VoteMarsha The only way is through expensive private schools. Some schools will accept school vouchers. The only way to survive the underbellies after the children.

@SenJohnson The only fair way to make this work is to unenroll all current private school kids for next year and do a lottery for those that want in. Still on board everyone?
