If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you?

My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

the fundamental problem with Bo Watson's argument is he thinks the only solution is to deny some children education... when the solution could be ensuring ALL children can learn, without exception. #EducationForAllTN

All children should be able to learn, grow & reach their full potential. Some #tnleg politicians want deny kids an education just because of where they're from. ☎️ to tell YOUR legislator: EVERY child should have an opportunity to learn! www.educationforalltn.org/call?ms=Plyl...
