Tennessee House passes bill allowing armed teachers, sending measure to the governor tennessean.com/story/news/pol… via @tennessean #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #DemsUnited The Republican led Tennessee legislature had to cut off members mics, ignore protest from hundreds of parents, teachers and students and abruptly end debate in order to pass a bill giving teachers the authority to go armed in the classroom. Tennessee has become the incubator for every bad idea Republicans conjure up. I was born in Tennessee and although I live in Texas, Tennessee will always be home. I have to say I am embarrassed to say Tennessee is my home state. Just when I think Tennessee cannot sink any lower or pass any other legislation as bad as what they have in the last few years. They come up with a bone headed idea like putting guns in the classrooms. I would say they cannot go any lower. But Tennessee Republicans find a way to top themselves as they fight to be the worst state legislature in the United States. Let’s make sure they get buried under the Big Blue Tsunami this November. Enough is enough.
This decision in Tennessee feels like the easy way out—arming teachers rather than addressing the root causes of violence in our communities. #Guns It's an accident waiting to happen, and our children deserve lawmakers who take their safety seriously. #Guns and more #Guns is not the solution. #DemsUnited #EnoughIsEnough #VoteBidenHarris
@RealMartyT7 @Tennessean What’s sad is Tennessee has so much potential. The Democrats are fierce but can’t stop the MAGAs from taking over discussions they disagree with. They have an opportunity in November. #VoteBlue in every election up and down ballot and throw these MAGAs out.
@RealMartyT7 @Tennessean Absolutely negligent and horrifying...this can only lead to more people being murdered.
@RealMartyT7 @Tennessean There is no democracy in TN as long as the Republicans control it!!!
@RealMartyT7 @Tennessean It has been terrifying watching Sexton play dictator with the TN legislature - a foreshadowing of what may occur to the entire country if tfg gets back in the White House. #VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy
@RealMartyT7 @Tennessean Tennessee has one foot into the door of authoritarianism.
@RealMartyT7 @Tennessean Because, what could possibly go wrong.
@RealMartyT7 @Tennessean Oh and this new law they made against speaking of chemtrails lol really this State is pathetic.
