I am a public school teacher in Tennessee. It’s been pretty bad. But the main point I want to amplify is that TN and other red states are being used as laboratories for oppressive legislation. Blue states need to pay attention to this. Out country has a history of being condescending to the South and rural America .we are often mocked and stereotyped as being stupid. As a result Red states are often written off. This is a huge mistake. The rest of the country needs to pay attention and be prepared to fight things that are coming down the pike for them, that we have already been living with. I am sure the Heritage Foundation and friends are supporting/funding efforts with oppressive legislation. BTW the bill to deny undocumented children did not pass. They gave a bullshit reason for why. (Look it up HB 793) I am sure it will be back. The goal is definitely to take it to Supreme Court and they will keep at it. They have been very clear about that from the start.
