School Choice in Tennessee: Defend Education Independence!

The School Choice movement is steadily advancing in red states across the country. How can we, as citizens, engage with this legislative issue and protect education independence in our states?

It is important that we consider and wrestle with arguments for and against School Choice policies. If you live in Tennessee, this conversation is not only important but timely. Many elected officials in Tennessee, including Governor Bill Lee, have dedicated themselves to implementing School Choice legislation. With such a unified initiative among state politicians, it is important for Tennesseans to understand this issue and consider its implications.

To help parents engage with the School Choice movement in an accessible way, mom, patriot, and host of Truthwire News, Kelly Jackson sat down with Classical Conversations® CEO, Robert Bortins. Together, they break down voucher policies, consider claims made by ESA advocates, and lay out the effects this legislation has on families.

Kelly Jackson and Robert Bortins discuss School Vouchers in Tennessee.

Here are some of the questions they discuss:

  • Who is advocating for School Choice policies in Tennessee?
  • Who benefits from School Choice legislation?
  • How can Tennessean families defend education independence in their state?
