Standardized testing reform in public education is long overdue. Though I don’t often agree with @TNGOP, they’re on the right track with this particular conversation. The burden on classroom teachers is too much. tennesseelookout.com/2025/08…

As Trump moves to end the Dept of Ed — Tennessee gets almost 40% of our budget from the federal government, one of the most federally-dependent states. $1.6 BILLION in federal Ed funds Targeted to poor kids and children with disabilities. Grandstanding has consequences.

We know the dangers of vouchers and forcing charter schools into districts who don’t want them, but it’s past time that we talk about where public ed is failing. The first stop: testing based on academic standards that don’t measure student learning equitably or accurately. 🧵

rather than free up schools to create content that would foster the most engagement in the learning process, lower income schools are handcuffed to gaming the system through “test prep” rather than organic teaching and learning which actually has a much greater impact on students

TN Republicans and Democrats should be on the same side of this discussion - tax dollars are spent more effectively and learning increases when testing isn’t given the power it’s been given in Tennessee.

Trump’s vitriolic messaging - messaging that most TN GOP politicians have ridden to wins - has finally jumped the shark. My latest piece for @TNLookout explores how a Trump loss in November could eventually shift policy in a deep-red state like TN. tennesseelookout.com/2024/09…

Tennessee Republicans who back former President Donald may have 'jumped the shark' as divisiveness loses its political appeal.

"Look on those people with compassion. Listen to their stories and believe them." When all is said and done, humans are at the heart of the issue when it comes to immigration. Hearing someone's story and believing it can be the first step toward empathy.
