Conservative Educators Blog #1
Posted on
I am conservative. I am also an educator. For a while now, I have felt an increasing need to report the sort of things that go on at Public School (and probably at private school although you don t hear about it).
I share many concerns with other Freepers about our educational system, and it is these concerns that have made me decide to start publishing the garbage I receive from the left.
My goal with this blog is to create a record of the comings and goings of public education for you all. This includes: -emails we receive -educational opportunities for teachers sponsored by leftists -policies from State departments of education and the national department of education -trends in education -textbook and curriculum concerns -think tank infiltration of schools -money problems in schools -what is really going on when you read about discipline in schools -state and national laws (statutory and common law) -Union issues -other info as need
Legislative Update: State of the State highlights - education, no new taxes
Sen. Joey Hensley, R-Hohenwald
The budget moved front and center on Capitol Hill during the week of Feb. 8 as Gov. Bill Lee presented his proposal to fund state government with improvements, prioritizing education, health care, and job development, particularly Tennessee’s rural communities.
Lee’s State of the State and budget address was also highlighted by an accounting of Tennessee’s COVID-19 response and plans for a full economic recovery.
Consistent with conservative principles, the budget does not propose new taxes.
Tennessee is recognized as the third least taxed state in the nation. Since 2011, the General Assembly has reduced sales tax on food by nearly 30%, phased out the Hall income tax, eliminated the gift and inheritance taxes, reduced the professional privilege tax for 15 professions, and cut taxes on manufacturing to enhance job creation.
