Are You Smarter Than A 3rd Grader?

  • Monday, May 29, 2023

 I would challenge every Tennessee legislator to take the third grade TCAP test and publish the results that our great state will spend $40 million to try to prove that our kids can’t read.

I would also challenge them to “read” ALL their constituents' ideas and opinions on the lack of common sense gun legislation in our state and not just keep repeating the same old tired NRA and gun owners of America catch phrases about the 2nd Amendment. Seems they read dollar signs very well.

And, I really would love it if Marsha Blackburn would stop passing on inaccurate information that she sees on social media about how other states are handling migrants. Stick to the facts and what is happening in Tennessee instead of printing weekly opinion pieces just to bash the other party.
