Bill Lee Winning Race to the Bottom

A new report shows that Tennessee has hit a new low – now the lowest among our Southeastern neighbors in school funding.

While Tennessee historically ranks in the bottom 10 nationally – usually in the 44-45 range – we’d usually end up with funding above some of our Southern neighbors.

Thanks to Bill Lee, not anymore.

Tennessee ranks dead last among neighboring states when it comes to investment in schools after six years of Lee’s “leadership.”

Instead of seeking to right the ship and push Tennessee forward, Lee has now convinced his legislative allies to embrace a billion-dollar school voucher scheme.

If you think it’s bad now, it will very likely get worse.
