1/ One of the first tests of the new Tennessee state laws about CRT in public schools was decided by the courts this month, and the litigants, Moms for Liberty-remoras James and Trish Lucente, failed bigly.

Reminder:

2/ The lawsuit alleged the Wit & Wisdom elementary reading curriculum contained CRT and age-inappropriate material, and was dismissed.
3/ Reminder: The Lucentes and their Parents Choice TN group were allegedly the ones who organized the mass trespass on WCS elementary school grounds in December 2021:

Word on the street is 26 people are signed up for public comment. 🍿
6:29pm and the room still has plenty of seats, generally a good sign that it won't be crowd chaos like we've seen in the past.
Here we go! Everyone present except D8 member Candy Emerson, who has missed the last few months after a loss in her family.

The @WCSedu board is now discussing the elementary curriculum review committee findings. Buckle up and refill those beverages.
Cleveland (D7) says parents are the mentors & teachers and kids look to them while teaching them to respect those who have different beliefs than they do. WCS teachers are experienced professionals. Disappointed in our community who have lost faith that our teachers....
...can't teach these matters. "I have listened." Someone will find something wrong with any state-mandated curriculum. There will always be something someone doesn't like, and we have a process that was followed.

The @WCSedu is now discussing a resolution in opposition to HB2833 re: #charter schools, which would shorten the timeline for approval and allows charters to use district facilities:
The #wcsb is asking with this resolution for local control. Sheila Cleveland who chairs the legislative committee on the Board, says this is on the TSBA "oppose" list which means the state board does *not* recommend this for Tennessee public school districts.
...notes it would allow charter schools to bypass local approval and go straight to the state for approval (and we know how @GovBillLee feels about sending public school taxpayer money to private charter schools.)
