Back to EpisodesTennessee Voucher Bill Targets Undocumented Kids
Description
Tennessee Republicans propose a controversial bill, House Bill 2532, expanding Education Freedom Scholarships while implementing strict rules on undocumented students. The amendment caps the program at 35,000 slots, affecting public school funding by withholding state money for disenrolled students without proof of citizenship or legal status. Critics argue this shift prioritizes certain students over others, contradicting Governor Lees earlier promises. The bill also introduces new voucher eligibility criteria and transparency measures, heading to the full Finance Committee next.
