Episode Details

Tennessee lawmakers are advancing a voucher expansion bill that ties public school funding to students immigration status. The amendment requires schools to prove lost students are citizens, legal residents, or in immigration proceedings without deportation orders to get reimbursed. Critics argue this will scare undocumented kids away from enrolling and break the state constitution. The House version cuts next years vouchers to thirty-five thousand from forty thousand in the Senate bill, but demand keeps growing. The bills head to the full House finance committee Tuesday and Senate floor soon, potentially reshaping school choice and whos welcome in classrooms across the state.
