TN Education Report

Educators are proud to teach the history of the Civil Rights Movement. We expect that history to be respected, not rewritten, erased, or pushed aside. - TEA President Tanya T. Coats

Many conservative Texans see vouchers as a back-door state takeover of private schools. This data is not going to make them feel any better

@GOPGovs @GovBillLee This is just sad. Why do you hate public schools?

Parents in Tennessee have seen the success of School Choice in their children's education. Now, demand is soaring. @GovBillLee is fighting to expand that opportunity for thousands more. Read more here: timesfreepress.com/news/2026/mar/…

PFPS supports Public Schools Week Feb. 23-27 2026! Public schools serve each and every student, in each and every community. #PSW26 #publicschoolproud

Not mentioned in this story about a populist challenger vs the conservative establishment in North Carolina: the role that school vouchers are playing in fueling grassroots anger on the right. The *horse-riding sheriff* says vouchers are a give-a-way to the rich

Every state has the same results: approximately 70% of those taking vouchers have never been in a public school. Show us the data.

Tennessee can choose to invest in strong, accountable public schools that serve all students and anchor our communities, or it can continue expanding a voucher program that lacks transparency while draining resources from the schools most families rely on. #TEAeducators

“Why are you against tracking how many voucher kids were already in private schools?” Koch-backed @AFPTN lobbyist @MichaelLotfi claims it’s a “privacy issue” (nah), then admits they believe not all should chip in for public schools🤔 Their truth. (One @GovBillLee won’t admit)

Public dollars should support secular public schools — not religious instruction. We must protect public education. Read about TN parents and faith leaders doing just that. #NoWilberforceAcademy edlawcenter.org/tennessee-pare…

@cuje1 @TheTNHoller @GovBillLee You seem nice

@TheTNHoller @TNEdReport @GovBillLee Buy your own damn food. Don't be a parasite.

From @TNEdReport: “Across the state, people are calling on @GovBillLee to do the right thing - to feed hungry kids in all 95 counties in 2026.” Wild that Bill needs to be begged by clergy and county mayors to feed kids. open.substack.com/pub/theeducati…

Ending Public Schools IS The Goal, by @TheAndySpears open.substack.com/pub/theeducati…

Thanks to veteran journalist and policy advocate, @TheAndySpears, for covering our plan to eliminate hundreds of thousands in medical debt for Tennesseans. For far too many in our state, healthcare is a luxury. When I'm Governor, we'll make sure it's a right. Read the story at ow.ly/bl9v50XH8W0

@TennesseeCAN So sad.

We’re thankful for Tennessee’s Education Freedom Scholarships which empower 20,000 students with personalized education. Nationwide, nearly 1 million families have embraced school choice, unlocking brighter futures. Grateful for Tennessee parents and elected officials for making it happen in our state!
