TN, we need educated people who understand what freedom means up here every day and attend every committee meeting. The Gov Ops meeting today on education rules ended up about banning accurate history, punishing teachers & school systems for teaching facts. It was frightening.
Most of my colleagues across the aisle believe freedom means you believing the same things they do. They do not believe in freedom of thought. Good education terrifies them.
They think there are “nice” ways to teach slavery so kids don’t feel bad. Teachers teach facts, not feelings. This is authoritarian BS. You can’t legislate feelings…yet here they go. Be afraid of these GOP extremists.
Also be afraid of the ones who may not be extremists, but are too cowardly to stand up to them. These folks aren’t happy with supermajority control, they need to bend those who think differently to their will. They are terrified of those who think differently than them.
2022 elections are critical in TN folks, much is on the line.
