Tennessee school voucher plan, school gun violence debates dominate Statehouse special session

Tennessee's Republican-led Statehouse is debating Governor Bill Lee's $917 million proposal, which includes a major school voucher expansion, Trump-inspired immigration reforms, and ongoing gun control discussions. The plan allocates $424 million to provide 20,000 school vouchers, while also creating a state immigration division to work with ICE. Amidst these policy changes, protests for stricter gun laws continue following recent school shootings. The special session highlights the state's deepening political divides.
