“Some immigrant families”?

A briefer and more informative headline would have referred to illegal immigrants directly.

American Pravda left out a key word. They said “immigrant families”. What they neglected to mention was the law applies only to ILLEGAL immigrant families.

Just the sort of lies and distortions one would expect from American Pravda.

Free education for the kiddies doesn’t come with RAT “amnesty”.

The title is so misleading

IMMIGRANTS are not excluded...

Only illegal aliens are excluded...

Illegal aliens are not IMMIGRANTS..

Headline broken.

“Tennessee Governor Signs New School Voucher Program Which Excludes ILLEGAL ALIEN Families.”

There, I fixed it for literate AMERICAN CITIZENS.

I am SICK of my taxes paying for illegals and their translators and everything that goes with it - separate prayer facilities, removing pork from the menu, separate materials, special accommodations, bussing and feeding those who have NEVER paid a penny into our system.

It should be, if you’re here illegally. Home school your kids. We’re not paying to teach them to speak Spanish or how Corona beer won the Battle of Puebla.

I’m in TN, and was at the Walmart checkout line a while back when vouchers were in the news. One of the publications had it on the front page.

The woman in front of me was going off because “poor kids won’t be able to eat lunch if the lunch vouchers are gone.”

I told her that’s not what “vouchers” means. She started to argue. Then the younger woman with her — assume daughter — made her stop talking.

I see this is specifically about the voucher program allowing less-advantaged kids some school choice.

The mostly-unvaccinated illegal aliens will still take up space in the public schools, holding America kids behind with their language gaps while garnering the school income per the “butts in seats” paradigm.

Right.

The woman thinks the kids are given little tickets — “vouchers” — every Monday and then give one to the cafeteria lady at lunch time.

School choice and vouchers will eventually strangle the miserably failing government schools. Public schools could rise to the occasion, focus on basics, throw out woke studies and become competitive. But Lefties ALWAYS and predicably double down on stupid. This will end public schools as we know it inside a decade. Not fast enough for me, but it will take time.

Buys us nothing but scorn. It will not get them to deport themselves.
Perhaps confining vouchers will do wonders for the nuns in schools that are free.

Oh. Boo. Hoo.

Did AP ever stop to consider TN does not pay for needy children in California, Canada, or India? How could they be so cruel?

How many illegal children does AP feed, house, and educate?

Whenever the leftists pontificate about the poor and downtrodden, which they are oft apt to do, I find myself thinking about how the Bible described Judas before his betrayal of Christ:

John 12:4-6 NKJV
But one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who would betray Him, said, “Why was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.

(D) is for Democrat and Disingenuous.

"...will exclude some immigrant families..."

Not good enough!

Should say: "will exclude ALL migrant families....

We have no problem with "immigrant" families!
It is the diseased migrant-invader vermin that need to be excluded from everything, including any location inside the borders of the USA...
