Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee spoke to Fox News Digital about a bill for universal school choice and an 'Education Freedom Scholarships' voucher program.
Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee says his state is joining what he views as a 'revolution in America right now around school choice,' as a $400 million bill to overhaul public school achievement testing and implement universal school choice advances in the state legislature. Lee, who is also president of the Republican Governors Association this term, said the issue of school choice resonates nationally beyond just Tennessee during the 2024 presidential election year.
In states like Texas, Lee said, it has cost candidates elections to oppose school choice. Tennessee has one of the fastest-growing populations and one of the top-performing economies among all 50 states in recent years, Lee acknowledged, stating how the influx of families weighs in on school choice. 'We need to give parents more choices. And when we do, children are going to have much more options to be successful. And at the end of the day, that's what this is all about,' Lee said.
