Reject the Education Freedom Act of 2025 in Tennessee

The Issue

The proposal for the Education Freedom Act of 2025 in Tennessee threatens the quality of public education. We don't want to use public funds to support private schools that don't have to meet the same academic standards. In states where similar Acts have passed, costs have skyrocketed. No one is asking for this except the rich investors trying to get their hands on Tennessee tax dollars. Vouchers in Tennessee have been fervently resisted by teachers, parents, and a significant section of the public. Our public schools bear the responsibility of educating our children, and they are not failing in this crucial job. What they need instead is comprehensive financial support and well-compensated teachers. We urge state legislators to vote against the Education Freedom Act of 2025, and instead channel resources towards fully funded public schools and compensating teachers adequately for their essential work. Sign this petition to ensure quality, fair, and inclusive education for all students in Tennessee.
