Maury County Mayor Andy Ogles says, “NO!!!” to Gov. Bill Lee’s Big Brother-style child wellbeing program that plans to send government officials to families’ homes to do welfare checks of children.
The Tennessee Department of Education says it released a toolkit on child wellbeing checks to ensure the needs of children are being met during and after extended periods away from school. It is promoted as protecting children.
The department earmarked $1 million in COVID-19 funds to set up regional overseers to work with districts, which are encouraged to apply. A grant from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will give funding for eight regional staff members to work across the state.
In response, Ogles posted on his official Facebook page, “NO!!! I will NOT stand for this, neither as your Mayor nor as a Father! … Governor Bill Lee initiating wellbeing checks for EVERY child in TN.”
Education Commissioner Penny Schwinn, in trying to sell the idea, said, “Since we know many children have experienced adversity due to the pandemic, child wellbeing checks are a deliberate way all stakeholders in the community can help ensure the needs of our children are met. I am encouraged by the hard work and dedication of the Task Force and our districts to support kids and their holistic needs.”
Conservative education reform advocate Karen Bracken railed against the program on her Facebook page and issued a call to parents. Her post is available here.
TN CITIZENS….
CALL GOVERNOR LEE NOW. DEMAND THAT THE WELLNESS TOOLKIT IS THROWN IN THE TRASH. SLAM HIS PHONE 615-741-2001
VOLUNTEERS TO INTERVIEW EVERY STUDENT AND THE LETTER GOING HOME SAYS NO ONE CAN BE IN THE ROOM WHILE THE STUDENT IS BEING INTERVIEWED.
THIS GOES FOR PUBLIC, PRIVATE, HOMESCHOOL AND HOME BOUND STUDENTS TO THE AGE OF 18.
PRINCESS PENNY SAID THEY HAVE 38 AGENCIES AND OTHERS STEPPING UP TO DO THE WELLNESS VISITS. REALLY????
IF THEY CARE SO MUCH FOR OUR KIDS AND THEIR PARENTS THEN LET THEM GET BACK TO A NORMAL LIFE INSTEAD OF KEEPING THEM IN A CONSTANT STATE OF FEAR.
THEY HAVE CROSSED THE LINE. WE DO NOT WANT REVISIONS WE WANT IT TRASH CANNED.
GET PREPARED FOR A MARCH IN NASHVILLE IF IT IS NOT TRASH CANNED.
tyranny plain and simple!! TN say NO to this nonsense
There is no such thing as a 2 party system ! It’s Trump Vs he Nazis ! Good vs Evil ! Watch shadow gate documentary ASAP Millennial Millie ! She is in Jail atm because of this ! YouTube it or banned.video
If they say there conservative , that means they are pussy and will bow to the left . There blackmailed or scared because they see what they do to the ones who speak the truth ! Stock up America ! Rack em and get ready for hell bc it’s all by design ! Btw the clintons are who is behind the welfare checks !
I love “outsiders” who put their name on the ballot and typically support them over the career politicians, but lets all admit, this is one disadvantage of an outsider….they can be a bit naive. Bill Lee does not have a leftist bone in his body. And, I believe, he wants to do the best he can for the state of Tennessee and its citizens; However, as a result of his ‘outsider’ status, he does not understand the evil intentions of leftists, nor their agenda. I am calling on him to FIRE PENNY SCHWINN TODAY for her either ignorance or her leftist motives.
