We deserve elected leaders who will fully fund our public schools so that all of us, no matter where we live or the color of our skin, have the freedom to receive a high quality education, learn, safely grow up, graduate, and live a good life.
Tennesseans cannot support Governor Lee's voucher scheme that would send tax dollars meant for our public schools to private schools instead.
We must instead come together to support public education funding so that we can ensure that all children are free to be themselves and free to learn in a school where they are respected and protected.
If we’re serious about every child’s future, let’s get serious about doing what works. This means fully funding our neighborhood public schools so that students in every zip code have inviting classrooms, a well-rounded curriculum, class sizes that are small enough for one-on-one attention, and support services such as health care, nutrition, and after-school programs.
