Tennessee legislators are looking to possibly reject federal funding for public education and replace it with state funding, making it the first state to do so.
The state's Republican leadership announced the creation of a panel to look at impacts of federal education funding in Tennessee and any conditions that may come along with it.
In the last few years, Tennessee has established itself as one of the more conservative states. For example, the state has moved to protect children from sexually explicit shows, to ban sex changes for minors, and rejected red flag laws. Sexton had previously discussed the idea of rejecting $1.8 billion in federal education funding during the prior regular legislative session, however, the proposal didn't end up advancing.
