In Tennessee, the debate intensifies over 'Universal school choice' with Senator Heidi Campbell (@Campbell4TN) criticizing Governor Bill Lee's voucher expansion proposal as 'the antithesis of fiscal responsibility' and a potential 'voucher scam'. Campbell warns it could create an $800 million deficit and worsen results with 'abysmal' test scores. A teachers' union-backed group is set to launch an anti-school-choice campaign during National School Choice Week, framing school choice as racist. The proposal is feared to favor 'privatized evangelical hedge fund schools'.
The thing that's racist is trapping poor students in failing schools, but this should come as no surprise considering big labor bosses have always prioritized themselves over our kids. https://t.co/6axx5uv1A8
