What a relief to know that educators in Hamilton County are taking a stand to advocate for their students. I personally don't know one educator who is in favor of this atrocious bill. Bo Watson is certainly not representing the interests of his constituents.

Not all of us! But I guess our votes really don't count anyway.

Just called my rep and glad to hear she was one of the HB 533 bill co-sponsors!

Absolutely. What else will these kids be doing if they're not in school? Drug dealing, prostitution, gang activity, child trafficking....

You're exactly right! And most of us *reasonable* Americans completely agree with you!

They *might* eventually be stopped by the courts, but it will take months and the damage will already be done. We are living in an apocalyptic hellscape. Thought and prayers y'all.

There is pushback for sure. But those who are pushing back are playing by the rules and going through the proper channels. But this administration doesn't play by the rules & are illegally upending entire departments unconstitutionally.

Thank you for taking a stand for common sense and *reasonable* policies. Though I am not in your district, I am a native Tennessean, & am furious that year after year, decade after decade, our representatives continue to fail to make policies to support & protect TN citizens.
