From a verified voter in Nashville, TNI'm just appalled that you signed the teachers and staff can concealed carry loaded firearms in public / private schools. What are you thinking!?

From a verified voter in Louisville, TNStop HB 1202/SB 1325!
I spent 35 years teaching in TN public schools. There are sooo many, many reasons that arming teacher/school employees is a bad idea. I am horrified and saddened that this bill has gotten this far. I am writing to implore Governor Lee to please refrain from signing HB1202/SB1325.
From a verified voter in Nashville, TNOppose Proposal to Arm Teachers in Tennessee
The proposal to arm teachers in Tennessee is deeply concerning.

From a verified voter in Gallatin, TNDo not pass guns for teachers in schools
We do not need teachers with guns in the classrooms . It is beyond dangerous and not something I want to worry about with a teacher becoming upset with a student and something horrible happening .

From a verified voter in Germantown, TNVote NO on Vouchers
I see that that you are going to try to force school vouchers through by amendment, avoiding the House Finance Committee. This disgusts me. Public school children are not “collateral damage” to your goal of lining the pockets of wealthy benefactors. I am watching, and I vote. The people of Tennessee
From a verified voter in Nashville, TNNo one wants school vouchers. Do not steal our tax money to, as Scott Cepicky said..throw our schools in the trash. Support our public schools and teachers. We don't want unaccountable faith based schools to receive tax money. Don't let them sneak vouchers through in a different bill. Stop this
From a constituent in Vonore, TNSchool vouchers
I am opposed to any public funds going directly to any school that has religion in its curriculum. However, if the State wants to grant a family from th eir portion of local school tax for enrollment into a private school, that's ok with the family providing proof of enrollment and that the private
