    This is the same state that just decided to let teachers carry guns. Really sprinting in the wrong direction aren’t they.

      As fast as their disengaged and disenfranchised constituency will allow. Maybe they should defund education just a little bit more, just to be sure.

        TN’s recent gerrymandering was particularly infuriating. They fucked certain jurisdiction maps just so they could go from 7-2 majority to 8-1 majority.

        We know that there are well more than 11% democrats in this state. 37% voted for Biden. But let’s dramatically redraw our maps because 22% is way too much representation.

          Amazing what they can do with a practically rectangular state.

            Excuse me, but Tennessee is clearly a trapezoid. /s

              You’re both wrong, it’s the nation’s finger.

                Or is it a pan to hold Kentucky’s fried chicken?

                  Based on that drawing, that’s not a pan…

        Oh man, we’re trying! Fortunately the governor’s “school choice” voucher plans have stalled in the legislature for now.

          Good! Those things are toxic to public school education funding. I wish you luck getting more neighbors voting!

      Another day another story about Tennessee passing some batshit republiQan power grab.

      Lick it up, Tennessee republiQans. Lick it up.
