Tennessee Republicans have a unique opportunity to spearhead a nationwide challenge to longstanding Supreme Court precedent allowing illegal aliens to overrun American schools. The question is: Will they take it?
There is currently a pair of companion bills making their way through the GOP-controlled Tennessee Legislature (SB 836 and HB 793) that would authorize Local Education Agencies (aka “public school systems”) “and public charter schools to refuse to enroll students who are unlawfully present in the United States.” While SB 836 passed the Senate during last year’s session and is currently awaiting consideration in the House, HB 793 is tied up in the lower chamber’s committees.
