On Thursday, Gov. Bill Lee put forward three provisions to keep schools safe, the first of which is a budget amendment to fund an armed guard at every public school in Tennessee.He noted that the second provision is a grant fund “to make significant physical security upgrades at both public and non-public schools all across the state.”
Lee explained that the third provision would be an increase in funding “for mental health resources.” He explained that the increased funding would mean not just one “mental health liaison in every county but that we have multiple in many counties.” He stressed that a sound approach to school safety begins “with the recognition that we cannot control evil, but we can do something.”
Together, we’re taking decisive, bipartisan action to secure TN schools — adding $200M+ for armed SROs, physical security upgrades & mental health support.We cannot control evil, but we can do something.
GovBillLee That worked so well at the Robb Elementary school in Uvalde Texas, now didn’t it…..
GovBillLee Looks Great doesn't he.
GovBillLee Actually, what there is no excuse for is neanderthal politicians who won't acknowledge that we've had firearms regulations as long as we've had a Second Amendment and we need more now to counter an epidemic of mass violence.
GovBillLee Its a start in the right direction, still more to do. Take preemptive steps not reactive steps, this isn't about politics and tired rhetoric about guns, it's about protecting our children for once. The all talk no action needs to end.
GovBillLee There is no excuse for refusing to take responsibility for having gotten us to a point where this seems like a reasonable proposition. Kids should not have to do lockdown drills!!!

GovBillLee 'No taxation without representation.' A rallying cry from the American Revolution. Should that also apply to the three districts in Tennessee, where their representatives are about to expelled from their jobs for civil disobedience, basically a peaceful protest?

GovBillLee So why is my governor not doing this? We already have the manpower, just make it a thing for every county to provide a sheriff in every school. There was a threat recently in my elementry and very little happened. They called it low risk. GregAbbott_TX GovAbbott KenPaxtonTX
