Behind Closed Doors: How Activists, Union Reps, & Liberal Allies Are Working to Overturn the Hamilton County Tennessee School Board Centerstone Vote

I rushed home on Thursday evening because I didn’t want to be late for a call I’d been invited to join by the Hamilton County Democrat Party. The call was scheduled for 5:30 PM and had been promoted as “a great chance to learn” about how the Centerstone MOU counseling program impacts our schools and students in Hamilton County.

I sat through the hour-long call in shock. Contrary to the HCDP post, I quickly realized I was on a call with a small network of Tennessee Education Association (TEA) operatives, failed progressive school-board candidates, and activist groups working behind the scenes to pressure the board into reversing its decision.
