District 21 Senator Jeff Yarbro called the bill completely irresponsible and not beneficial for low income families at all.
Senator John Stevens who represents District 24, which includes, Obion, Henry, Carroll, Gibson and Weakley Counties argued for the bill to allow parents to send their children to schools that align with their values.
