House Education Instruction Committee- March 24, 2021
A
A
A
A
A
Good
morning
welcome
to
the
education
instruction
committee
and
it
is
wednesday
march
the
24th.
I
have
to
remind
myself
these
days.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here.
Yes,
it
is
the
full
absolutely
thank
you.
We
have
a
running
joke,
but
thank
you
for
being
here
and
mr
clerk.
Will
you
call
the
roll.
A
A
Members,
do
you
have
any
announcements
or
recognitions
you'd
like
to
make
at
this
time
all
right,
seeing
none.
We
always
like
to
start
off
the
committee
by
saying
the
pledge
of
allegiance.
So
if
you
would
like
to
join.
A
C
Our
children,
a
homeschooling
mother
of
five
in
the
early
2000s
2000.
Her
original
wake-up
call
on
the
state
of
america's
educational
system
came
with
the
discovery
of
anti-american
anti-judeo-christian
anti-semitic
content
found
in
textbooks
being
used
by
the
school
district
in
her
home
county
in
tennessee.
C
This
personal
revelation
of
the
seeds
of
indoctrination
of
america's
children
began
her
quest
to
bring
awareness
and
change
through
every
avenue
she
could
reach
her
home-based
grassroots
advocacy
and
mobilization
of
parents
demanding
curriculum
reform
in
williamson.
County
tennessee
had
a
profound
impact
for
change
that
reached
national
media.
C
C
With
that
knowledge
in
hand,
she
has
since
become
a
leading
voice
nationally
in
spearheading
the
formation
of
a
campaign
to
expose
disinformation
and
targeted
propaganda
within
the
content
of
american
k-12
curriculum
cordoza
moore's
leadership
has
identified
flawed
textbook
review
procedures
and
conceived
methods
recommended
for
local
communities
nationwide
to
effectively
review
and
call
for
correction
corrective
changes
through
legislation
to
protect
the
integrity
of
messaging
for
educational
materials
being
utilized
by
america's
children.
She
remains
committed
to
this
ongoing
campaign
that
is
reaching
state
by
state
with
increasing
success.
C
I
also
want
to
give
you
another
fun
fact
that
I
thought
would
be
pretty
cool.
I
have
known
lori,
cardoza
moore
and
her
husband
stan,
who
is
here
with
her
today
since
1993
when
stan,
came
to
our
farm
and
produced
and
filmed
my
very
first
music
video
called
oklahoma
front,
porch
band,
so
I
find
it
here.
C
We
are
full
circle
and
I
get
the
honor
of
presenting
lori
cordorza
more
to
a
task
that
I'm
very
I'm
passionate
about
as
well
as
well
as
every
member
on
this
committee
is
what
is
the
content
that
is
coming
before
our
children?
Now
you
know
we
set
up
the
textbook
commission
to
carry
that
task
out
to
be,
as
I
said
earlier,
watchmen
on
the
wall,
so
that
we
are
ensured
that
our
children
in
our
classrooms
are
getting
content.
That
is
good
and
content.
C
A
Thank
you
very
much
for
that
introduction
and
thank
you
miss
moore
for
being
here
and
if
you
will,
there
should
be
an
on
off
button
there
and
a
red
light
come
on.
D
D
Thank
you
so
much
representative
weaver.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
kind
words
and
it
is
kind
of
interesting.
It's
come
full
circle
and
it's
an
honor
to
be
here
before
you
to
see
you
here
in
this
capacity
instead
of
in
production
and
music.
Although
I
loved
your
music,
but
we
really
appreciate
the
work
that
you
do
here
and
I
want
to
thank
speaker,
sexton
and
chairman
moody
and
all
of
the
distinguished
members
of
this
committee
for
the
privilege
you
have
accorded
to
me
to
serve
on
the
tennessee
textbook
and
instructional
materials
quality
review.
D
D
D
Tragically,
we
have
seen
the
result.
Over
the
past
few
months,
our
streets
have
been
filled
with
rioting,
destructive
american
young
people,
who
have
not
been
taught
the
values
entrusted
to
us
by
our
nation's
founders,
values
for
which
we
stand
and
for
which
millions
gave
their
lives
to
preserve,
nor
have
they
taught
our
country's
accurate
history,
history,
which
many
seem
intent
to
destroy.
D
I
am
committed
in
my
role
on
this
commission
to
serve
the
best
interests
of
tennessee
parents
and
tax-paying
citizens
and
to
help
ensure,
protect
and
enrich
america's
next
generation
of
leadership,
our
most
valuable
resource,
our
children.
Thank
you
again,
commissioner
sexton,
for
the
privilege
of
serving
in
this
appointment.
I
will
be
privileged
to
respond
to
any
questions
by
the
panel.
A
And
thank
you
very
much
and
we
have
if
you'll
raise
your
hand,
we'll
keep
a
list
representative
harris.
You
got
to
me.
First.
E
Awesome,
so
what
time
is
it
good
morning,
good.
D
E
So
one
of
the
duties
of
the
commission
is
to
prepare
and
recommend
a
list
of
standard
edition
textbooks
for
approval
for
the
youth
and
public
schools
of
our
state,
and
I
respect
that.
You
have
very
strong
beliefs
in
your
faith
and
religion.
E
D
Oh,
absolutely
and
my
beliefs
are
the
same
beliefs
that
everyone
of
the
abrahamic
faith
adhere
to
and
because
of
those
that
faith
and
those
beliefs,
that's
what
protects
and
allows
the
beauty
of
america,
especially
through
our
political
system
and
our
education
system.
Everybody
has
an
opportunity
to
believe
what
they
want
to
believe
and
be
protected
in
that
process.
E
E
Williamson
county
commissioners
considered
appointing
you
to
the
school
board.
There
was
immediate
backlash.
Did
you
end
up
being
appointed
or
what
happened
with
that
situation?.
E
A
E
A
E
Well,
I'm
just
trying
to
make
sure
I
don't
step
out
okay,
so
I
believe
that
our
children
deserve
accurate
accounts
of
history.
I
think
what
I
appreciate
the
most
about
one
of
my
fellow
colleagues,
representative
weaver,
is
her
passion
for
the
content
that
is
taught
to
our
students.
I
also
like
the
context
in
which
certain
matters
is
taught
to
our
children,
but
on
fox
news
in
july
of
2020,
you
said
that
the
constitution
does
not
and
did
not
endorse
slavery.
It
didn't
even
mention
slavery,
but
this
propaganda
is
taught
to
our
children.
F
F
F
They
cannot
take
anything
out
of
our
standards
because
we
all
agree
on
what's
in
them.
I
think
the
question
should
be:
is:
can
this
candidate
objectively
look
at
a
textbook,
that's
up
for
review
for
our
students
and
determine.
Does
it
meet
our
criteria
to
be
approved
based
off
what
we
said
set
for
standards?
A
Thank
you
for
that
reminder.
So
members,
it's
a
good
reminder
to
keep
that
scope
that
we're
under
here
for
for
approving
the
nominees
yeah.
Now
one
question:
were
you
addressing
the
point
of
order
representative
harris?
I
saw
you
first.
E
Thank
you
representative.
So
that
also
was
the
additional
question
that
I
had
so
he
asked
that
as
well,
so
that'd
be
great.
If
we
can
get
both
of
those.
F
D
A
G
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
I
want
to
speak
to
the
point
of
order,
but
I'm
also
on
the
list
to
speak
to
the
our
candidate,
correct,
okay,
okay,
and
to
the
point
of
order,
madam
chair
and
and
respectfully
chair,
mr
pickey.
It's
it's
not
our
guest's
role
to
decide
whether
she
can
do
this
objectively
she's
coming
through
a
confirmation,
so
that
we
can
decide
whether
she
can
do
this
objectively
and
I
hadn't
formed
an
opinion.
You
know
in
regards
to
whether
or
not
you
can
do
this
objectively.
G
You
seem
very
bright
to
be
very
intelligent,
but
I
just
want
to
make
it
make
it
clear
why
we're
here
we're
here
to
listen
and
ask
questions
so
that
we
can
decide
whether
she
can
do
this
objectively,
that's
our
job,
so
I
I
would
hope
that
that
even
to
our
guests,
I
would
hope
that
you
know
the
questions
that
are
asked
from
these
members
would
would
be
answered
so
that
so
that
we
can,
you
know,
come
to
a
conclusion
as
to
whether
or
not
you
know
we
agree
or
disagree.
G
G
It
wouldn't
be
wrong,
and-
and-
and
so
you
know-
let's-
let's
you
know,
give
give
our
guests
a
chance
to
to
respond
and
and
so
that
we
can
make
an
informed
decision.
I
think
she's
very
intelligent.
You
know
I'm
just
looking
forward
to
hearing
you
know
more
information
about
her
and
and
and
and
other
things
and
and
when
we
get
back
on
the
you
know.
Out
of
point
of
order,
I
guess
madam
chair
and
thank
you
for
your
indulgence.
G
You
know
I
want
to
talk
to
her
about
civics
and
I
think
there's
some
you
know
we
may
be
able
to
align
on
some
civic
stuff.
So
thank
you,
madam
chair.
A
Thank
you,
representative
mckenzie.
Were
you
on
the
point
of
order
or
the
questioning?
Okay,
you're
recognized.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
and
and
to
the
point
of
order.
You
know
I
I
I
disagree
with
the
chair
in
that
the
question
and
this
and
and
was
focused
on
a
core
piece
of
material
being
the
constitution
and
a
a
a
core
part
of
what
she
will
be
looking
at
and
the
other
members
of
the
of
the
commission
are
looking
at.
H
So
I
guess
I
I
disagree
that
that
this
was
that
the
question
was
out
of
out
of
order,
because
there
may
be
books
that
that
that
come
through
that
commission
that
are
not
in
align
with
that
and
she
and
the
committee
and
the
commission
needs
to
be
able
to
to
to
decide
whether
that
is
or
is
not.
So
I
personally
think
that
that
that
the
question
was
in
line
and
and
madame
tribe
would
ask
that
you
declare
his
point
of
order
invalid.
A
Thank
you.
The
next
person
we
have
on
our
list
for
questions
is
representative
parkinson.
G
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I'm
almost
thinking
that
you
like
me
more
than
you
like
the
rest
of
these
guys
and,
ladies
up
here,
madam
chair,
thank
you
so
much
and
and
to
our
guest.
Thank
you
for
being
here.
I
really
appreciate
you
being
here
being
able
to
hear
from
you,
so
I
got.
Let's
talk
about
civics,
real,
quick.
D
With
regards
to
our
constitutional
republic,
I
believe
that
we
should
actually
go
further.
I
support
civics
k-12
because
we
can
be
teaching
our
children
in
kindergarten.
First
grade,
second
grade
third
grade
how
to
pledge
allegiance
to
the
flag,
how
to
sing
our
patriotic
songs.
These
are
all
ways
of
instilling
those
values
and
patriotism
and
and
love
for
america
that
we
all
grew
up
with.
G
That
level
today,
thank
you
thank
you
for
that.
You
know,
and-
and
you
know
I
try
to
look
for
for
areas
of
alignment
where
we
you
know
where
there
can
be
some
and-
and
I
hope
that
you
know
if
you
get
this
position
or
or
if
you're
confirmed
or
affirmed
and
or
or
if
you're
not.
I
hope
that
that
maybe
that's
an
area
that
we
can
work
together
on
to
to
really
really
you
know,
get
that
going
in
our
state.
G
Let's
talk
about
black
history,
black
history:
let's
talk
about
history
in
general,
because
it's
not
just
black
history.
You
know
I
look
at
and
see
the
inaccuracies
of
how
history
has
been
taught.
You
know
in
our
in
our
schools.
You
know
such
as
something
as
simple
as
christopher
columbus,
discovering
america
when,
when
the
fact
is
christopher
columbus,
never
even
made
it
to
america,
you
know
the
the
you
know
how
the
the
the
relationship
between
settlers
or
colonizers
and
the
native
americans
those
weren't
good
relationships.
G
You
know
the
fact
that
the
state
of
georgia
was
originally
set
up
to
be
a
buffer
between
the
spanish
and
the
settlers.
The
colonies
and
the
state
of
georgia
was
originally
set
up
to
be
a
state
with
absolutely
no
people
of
color.
They
weren't
even
wanting
slavery
on
the
front
end,
and
so
they
were
there
to
be
a
buffer
to
keep
the
spanish
from
coming
up.
G
What
is
now
I-95
into
into
you
know
the
the
colonial
experience
experiment,
the
fact
that
that
the
then
governor
of
massachusetts,
colonial
massachusetts,
declared
a
day
of
thanks,
because
the
militia
from
massachusetts
had
just
returned
from
killing
the
pequot
tribe
in
connecticut,
and
so
they
were
being
thankful
for
you
know
their
return,
those
that
made
it
back
and
that's
why
we
now
celebrate
thanksgiving
and,
and
so
those
things
are
not
being
accurately
portrayed
in
our
textbooks
or
to
our
students.
You
have
any
thoughts
on
that.
D
G
Thank
you,
ma'am,
and,
and
thank
you
for
your
indulgence.
Thank
you
too,
for
your
for
your
responses.
The
history
as
it
will
be
told
in
regards
to
players
taking
a
knee
in
our
country.
D
Again,
I
am
not
looking
at
history
standards,
I'm
not
going
to
be
reviewing
history
textbooks,
maybe
you'll,
appoint
me
after
I
get
past
the
math
textbooks
to
do
the
history
when
they
come
back
up.
So
I
cannot
speak
to
those
standards
and
to
what
you're
requesting
without
looking
at
the
standards
of
tennessee
history.
Okay,.
G
G
A
You
thank
you,
representative,
mckenzie,
we're
back
to
you.
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Is
this
an
appointment
or
a
reappointment
for
you.
H
Have
you
had
any
other
similar
positions.
H
Thank
you
so
in
your
in
in
your
in
your
capacity
as
an
advisor,
because
as
the
representative
here
talk
talked
about,
you
know,
you're
going
to
be
vetting
things,
and
so
we
we
we
need
to
get
a
full
picture
of
of
your
process.
So
could
you
could
you
you
had
talked
earlier
in
your
opening
statement
about
when
you
had
a
conflict,
you
had
sources
that
you
would
cite
with
every.
I
guess
conflict
with
with
what
was
in
print
correct.
D
I
have
used
multiple
sources
original
source
documents
to
be
one,
especially
when
it
comes
to
civics
curriculum.
So
again,
I'm
going
to
be
reviewing
math
and
I
just
actually
received
the
standards
math
standards
for
tennessee.
So
now
I'm
reviewing
those
standards
as
they
are
going
to
apply
to
my
responsibility
on
that.
Commission.
H
Thank
you
for
for
that.
You
know,
I'm
I'm
a
a
physics
major,
my
my
myself
and
and
I'm
I'm
a
process
person
as
well.
So
the
process,
whether
it's
you
know
in
in
an
evaluation,
is
similar,
whether
you're
reviewing
math
textbooks
or
physics,
textbooks
or
or
a
civics.
You
know
history
type
type
of
textbook,
so
just
just
trying
to
get
an
understanding
of
what
your,
what
your
vetting
and
evaluation
process
would
look
like.
I
H
You've
you've
had
a
wealth
of
experience
with
it,
and
you
know
as
you
as
your
your
start
started
out
with
with
what
our
books
are.
Looking
like,
what
are
some
of
the
aspects
that
you
would
seek
to
have
a
changing
kind
of
input
on
with
our
current
system.
D
Well,
I
don't
know
that
there
would
be
a
changing
kind
of
input.
I
just
have
to
review
the
math
textbooks
to
make
sure
that
they
comply
with
what
the
state
has
already
established
within
its
standards
and
within
state
law.
So
I
can't
really
change
anything
as
much
as
I
can
review
and
then
make
those
recommendations
to
the
state
as
part
of
the
commission
as
a
whole
and
then
make
those
to
the
state
board
of
education.
E
D
E
D
D
Plenty
within
several
states
that
I
operate.
I
would
say
right
now
we're
looking
at
seven
that
we
have
completed
and
there
are
others
that
are
coming
along
as
well,
but
we
didn't
have
them
removed.
We
reviewed
them
to
make
recommendations
and
enough.
D
E
Her
response
enlisted
another
question.
A
H
E
Those
recommendations
how
many
recommendations
have
been
actually
taken
up.
B
E
Up,
okay,
one
last
question:
thank
you.
We
referenced
earlier
you.
You
said
something
about
your.
I
guess
the
consideration
for
the
williamson
county
school
board
and
on
there
that
you
can
had
some
complaints
that
I
guess
they
were
judged.
There
were
against
you.
I
guess
that
with
you
said
that
they
would
have
been
inaccurate
and
you
admitted
to
never
really
reading
the
textbooks.
E
D
A
E
As
as
we
move
forward,
we
have
to
realize
that
in
tennessee
and
in
the
nation
and
in
this
nation
in
this
country
we
have
more
than
just
christian
religion.
And
so
how
can
can
I
think,
representative,
harris
kind
of
reference
to
that?
But
how
can
you
reconcile
your
beliefs
and
understanding
that
and
not
infringe
on
other
people's
beliefs
in
in
in
making
an
objective
decision
on
books.
J
Thank
you,
ma'am.
I've
knew
you
back
when
I
was
on
the
county
commission
and
while
I
was
sitting
there
listening
to
you,
I
was
thinking
man.
I
appreciate
strong
women.
You
know
what
my
wife's
a
strong
woman
32
years
next
month,
terry
lynn,
weaver's,
a
strong
woman.
Our
chairman
moody's,
a
strong
woman.
I
appreciate
you
having
the
courage
and
conviction
conviction
to
come
up
here
and
kind
of
stand
up
to
the
status
quo.
You
know
suffer
persecution
and
I
couldn't
help
but
think
of
my
former
police
chief,
strong
woman
of
courage.
J
She
passed
away
last
year.
First
female
police
chief
in
the
in
the
state
watch
her
suffer
persecution
when
she
was
climbing
that
six
foot
wall
people
laughed
at
her
in
1980,
she
was
a
mentor
of
mine.
Sadly,
she
died.
So
I
just
was
thinking
about
sally.
When
I
was
looking
at
you,
I
want
to
read
a
quote
that
you
that
you
gave
if
it's
okay,
since
I
have
no
problem
with
islam
being
in
the
textbooks
when
you're
it's
when
you're,
promoting
anti-semitic
views
when
you're
pushing
religion.
J
When
you
violate
the
u.s
state
constitutions
by
favor
and
religion
over
all
others,
then
yes,
I'm
going
to
interject
and
I'm
going
to
speak
up.
I
appreciate
you
speaking
up,
like
you
have
just
this
morning,
we're
at
the
governor's,
well
tennessee
prayer
breakfast,
and
I
like
something
the
governor
said.
You
know
everybody
was
there
new,
he
was.
It
was
very
touching.
Karen
camper
gave
her
great,
I
didn't
know
she
could
sing.
She
just
sang
awesome.
J
D
D
Should
you
approve
me
to
serve,
but
I
will
tell
you
I
am
reminded
and
guided
by
mark
chapter
nine,
where
I
also
have
a
responsibility
that
if
I
mislead
one
of
these,
my
little
ones
our
children,
our
kids
in
our
schools,
are
counting
on
us
and
if
I
mislead
one
of
these,
my
little
ones,
no
matter
what
background
they
come
from,
then
I'm
going
to
be
held
accountable.
I
will
stand
before
almighty
god,
one
day
to
give
an
account
for
the
decisions
that
I
made.
D
So
yes,
I
don't
want
to
be
one
of
those
that
is
talked
about,
mark
9,
where
a
millstone
is
wrapped
around
their
neck
and
then
and
thrown
into
the
depths
of
the
sea.
So,
yes,
I
take
this
appointment
very
seriously
and
I
look
at
the
future
of
our
country
and
our
children.
My
children,
your
children,
your
grandchildren,
keeping
all
of
that
in
mind.
J
Yes,
ma'am,
you
know
I
was
thinking
of
tolerance.
You
know
up
here.
We
have
a
lot
of
diversity
in
this
state.
My
district's
very,
very
diverse.
I've
got
some
some
kurdish
friends,
they're
awesome
people
I
went
over
there
shared
my
faith
with
them
talked
about
the
power
of
prayer.
One
day
they
were
kidding
me.
They
said,
let's
go
pray
over.
Our
building
here
went
over
laid
hands
on
the
building,
had
three
kurdish
muslim,
guys,
a
coptic
christian
and
a
catholic,
and
they
hadn't
had
any
theft,
since
they
were
having
a
lot
of
theft.
J
In
fact,
I
was
thinking
I'd
like
to
invite
you
to
go
over
we'll
have
a
cup
of
coffee
with
them
seriously.
I
want
you
to
go
with
me.
I.
J
The
persecution
the
kurdish
people
have
suffered
is
beyond
anything.
We
know,
and
I
had
somebody
ask
me:
there
was
a
member
up
here,
I'm
not
going
to
say
who
I
was
going
to
talk
about
my
kurdish
friends.
He
said
man,
aren't
you
scared?
Aren't
you
scared
like
be
by
myself
with
these
five
guys?
I
said
man.
I
ain't
scared.
I
trust
those
guys
more
than
my
own
mom,
some
of
my
own
people
that
I
know
guys
have
been
good
to
me
and
you
probably
know
the
story
of
the
kurdish
and
the
persecution
they
they've
suffered.
J
It's
the
largest
minority
group,
middle
tennessee,
the
kurdish
people,
strong,
very
tolerant
folks
of
of
christians,
and
I
believe
in
tolerance-
and
I
appreciate
your
passion
and
I
have
faith
in
you
and
if
cameron's
section
has
faith
in
you,
then
I
think
this
body
ought
to
have
faith
in
you.
So
thank
you.
H
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I'm
I'm
looking
at
the
website
and
and
they
they
on
the
website
that
has
you
being
a
member
of
the
commission
since
july
of
2019.,
could
you
could
you
clarify
that
for
me.
D
H
It's
on
the
state
of
tennessee's
website.
It
has
the
commission
members
listed,
and
here

middle
tennessee
public
members,
yeah.
D
A
All
right
members
represent
speaking.
D
A
Wrap
this
up-
and
I
was
wanting
wanting
to
ask
you
to
let
us
know
how
how
long
you've
been
serving.
I
think
we
kind
of
figured
that
out,
but
how
many
meetings
have
you
attended
since
you've
been
on
well.
A
C
A
A
A
A
C
C
All
righty
we
are
going
to
get
on
with
our
agenda
for
the

brief
re
recess,
and
we
thank

the
microphone

wonderful
last
name

bit
just
about

and
we're
going
to
give
you

mic.
So

just
feel
right
at
home
and
begin
to
talk
to
us
and
tell
us
why
we
need
you
on
the
textbook.
Commission.
Okay!
Thank
you,
sir.
I
C
I
C
E
I
All
right,
thank
you
again.
The
last
name
is
gagne.
I
am
an
educator
in
the
state
of
tennessee
for
the
last
26
years,
I'm
entering
my
27th
year
in
rutherford
county.
I
have
served
as
a
math
teacher
for
22
years.
I
taught
everything
from
algebra
well,
seventh
grade
math
all
the
way
up
to
ap
calculus
and
ap
computer
science,
and
I
just
recently
entered
into
the
realm
of
administration.
My
appointment
would
be
for
the
principal
representative
of
the
textbook
commission
for
the
state
of
tennessee.
I
I
am
passionate
about
education
and
I'm
passionate
about
the
students
of
tennessee,
getting
the
best
education
possible
and
making
sure
that
they
are
the
most
successful
students
in
the
nation,
and
so
the
opportunity
to
serve
in
this
capacity
allows
me
to
have
one
little
instance
of
being
able
to
give
some
excellence
in
that
area
and
making
sure
that
the
materials
that
we
provide,
our
students
match
the
exceptional
standards
that
we
put
forth
for
our
teachers
to
teach
and
when
those
two
align
and
our
our
standards
match
the
materials
that
we
give
our
teachers,
then
we
can
actually
have
some
very,
very
successful
students.
C
K
I
K
I
worry
yeah
mr
zag
blair.
I
Do
over
okay
yeah
he's
a
phenomenal
young
man,
at
least
while
I
knew
him
so
after
that,
that's
up
to
you
guys,
yeah.
B
H
I
Oh
my
gosh.
Yes,
I
do
and
thank
you
thank
you
zach.
I
appreciate
that
that
is
not
part
of
the
tennessee
state
curriculum,
so
we
will
discuss
that
later.
I
H
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
it's
as
we
heard
the
previous
person.
Is
it
your
knowledge
that
you're
only
looking
at
a
certain
subject
or
certain
subjects
during
your
period.
I
H
And
so
you,
you,
having
you
know,
been
at
every
aspect.
Both
you
know
student,
then
a
teacher
now
and
an
administrator.
What
do
you
feel
or
how
do
you
feel
our
current
process
for
getting
the
textbooks
into
the
student's
hands
are
towards
what
the
estate
processes
are?
Now
they
got
them
into
your
hands
into
your
your
staff's
hands.
I
I'm
a
firm
believer
in
lifelong
improvement
and
that
there's
been
mistakes
that
have
been
made
throughout
all
of
history
and
as
we
learn
from
those
mistakes,
we
learn
to
improve
and
as
long
as
we
keep
our
students
at
the
center
and
focus
of
everything
that
we
do
to
try
to
make
them
exceptional,
then,
as
a
commission,
we
will
work
very
diligently
to
make
sure
that
what
we
provide
matches
the
standards
that
the
state
of
tennessee
puts
before
us.
C
Next
is
chairman:
zapicci
you're
recognized.
F
J
Thank
you,
sir.
Are
you
still
at.
I
J
Okay,
okay,
I've
seen
a
quote
that
director
spurlock
mentioned.
I
just
wanted
to
read.
If
it's
okay
just
said
mark's,
a
very
effective
administrator
he's
been
exceptional
and
he's
just
we're
very
proud
of
him.
Just
want
to
read
that
you
know
just
something
to
kind
of
get
off
my
chest.
We
were
talking
earlier
about
history
and
so
forth
and
wasn't
about
math
kind
of
surprised
me,
but
here's
one
area
that
I
wish
somebody
would
take
up
and
maybe
you're
the
man
to
do
it.
J
A
lot
of
folks,
don't
know
who
the
first
african-american
lawmaker
was
a
lot
of
people.
Don't
know
who
it
was
it's
not
in
the
history
books,
it
was
from
our
county,
sampson
keeble.
He
was
republican.
I
think
those
things
need
to
be
in
the
history
book.
I
think
we
learn
from
history.
I
think
it
makes
us
better.
Citizens
makes
us
better
state
representatives,
so
I'm
going
to
task
you
with
taking
up
that
issue.
We
need
to
put
that
in
history
books
and
it
needs
to
be
taught
he
had
mentors.
J
He
worked
in
the
newspaper
industry
and
no
I'm
just
saying
it
needs
to
be.
We
talked
about
all
these
other
things
that
had
not
doing
math,
I'm
just
saying
as
an
educator
I
mean
as
an
educator.
We
should
talk
about
these
things
and
we
shouldn't
censor
them.
I
always
felt
like
that
information.
I'm
not
born
in
smyrna.
The
guy
was
old,
jefferson
community,
you
know
was
there
before
smyrna.
They
never
taught
us
these
things.
I'm
like,
I
can't
believe
I
grew
up
here
and
the
first
black
lawmaker
was
from
my
community.
J
That
should
be
out
there.
That's
not
controversial,
but
for
some
reason
people
think
these
things
are
controversial.
It's
just
the
truth.
You
know,
but
anyways,
I'm.
He
had
white
mentors
that
helped
him
get
elected.
That
believed
in
him.
That's
the
power
of
mentorships.
You
know
you
get
it
as
an
educator.
So
that's
why
I
think
others.
Maybe
people
could
relate
to
him
and
say
man.
If
that
guy
can
do
it.
I
can
do
it
if
joe
towns
can
do
it.
I
can
do
it.
You
know
there
he
is
back
here.
Thank
you,
chair
lady.
I
C
Okay:
next,
we
have
representative
parkinson
you're,
recognized.
G
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
chair
lady
weaver.
I
got
a
little
confused
as
to
who
was
deciding
who
was
speaking.
G
But
thank
you
for
that.
Thank
you,
chair
lady.
I
appreciate
it
so
I
I
just
want
to
be
clear
on
your
role
so
right
now,
you're
one
subject.
G
I
If
you
look
at
the
state
website,
if
it
is
accurate,
then
you
will
be
able
to
see
when
our
commissions
end
and
you
can
align
that
with
the
the
way
that
tennessee
has
lined
up
their
adoption
process
and
the
cycles
that
they
go
through.
And
you
will
see
my
commission
ends
in
2023,
which
would
put
me
in
the
scope
of
looking
at
those
materials.
Yes,
sir,
okay.
G
And
just
for
clarity,
so
if,
if,
if
you,
if
you,
if
you
guys
finished
reviewing
math
in
september,
I
don't
know
how
long
it
takes
to
review.
You
know
these,
and
how
long
does
it
take
to
review
something
review?
These
textbooks.
I
G
And-
and
you
know,
I
have
no
idea
either
and
so
and
so
but
let's
say
for
instance,
if
you,
if
you
finish
reviewing
math
by
the
end
of
the
year
and
then
you
you
will
be
begin
reviewing.
Science
and
health.
Am
I
correct?
That's
correct,
yes,
and
so
every
member
there's,
a
member,
that's
that's
affirmed,
will
be
reviewing
science
and
health.
G
Well
that
that
kind
of
flies
in
the
face
of
what
we
were
discussing
with
our
last
candidate,
because
you
know
we
were
under
the
well,
I
was
under
the
impression
that
it
was
only
going
to
be
math
and
math
only
so
apparently
we
missed
something
or
some
information.
G
You
know
that
would-
and
I
wish
that
I
wish
someone
would
have
clarified
that
for
us.
That
would
say
that
you
know,
because
I
asked
about
history
and-
and
I
was
told
that
it
was
only
going
to
be
math
and
no
history,
but
there
is
a
chance
that
it
could
be
history
depending
on
how
the
speed
of
your
review
am.
I
correct.
I
I
will
tell
you
at
this
point
in
time.
I
know
currently
that
we
are
working
on
mathematics
and
depending
on
how
long
that
takes.
I
do
know
that
there
is
another
set
of
textbook
materials
that
will
be
reviewed
in
that
process.
Through
that
cycle
we
could
very
well
I
you
know,
I
don't
know
how
long
we'll
be
where
we
are
right
now
right,
you
know.
Currently
we
are
reviewing
math.
Yes,.
G
Yeah,
that's
interesting!
So
so,
if
you
come
out
of
math
and
you
go
into
science,
then
there
could
be
some
challenges
in
the
textbooks
in
regards
to
science
or
creativism.
Am
I
correct
if
you're
going
into
science
and
health
after
math.
I
Let
me
explain
to
you:
I
am
going
to
take
the
state
standards
that
tennessee
has
put
before
us
and
I'm
going
to
take
a
look
at
the
materials
that
are
being
presented
to
us,
those
materials.
If
they
support
the
standards
for
the
state
of
tennessee,
then
those
are
going
to
be
quality
materials
that
we'll
approve
for
our
teachers
to
use.
G
Right
and
I
appreciate
that,
I'm
going
to
support
your
your
candidacy,
I'm
just
leaning
on
leaning
on
you
a
little
bit
for
more
for
what
the
protocol
is
and
you
know
and
what
the
process
of
processes
are
for.
You
know
how
we
move,
how
things
move
forward
and
you
know,
and
and
and
I'm
going
to
look
back
at
the
chair,
lady
and
because
she
has
not
put
me
on
a
timer
with
you
for
some
reason,
but
she
put
me
on
the
timer
with
the
other
lady.
G
You
know,
but
you
know
apparently
never
I'm
just
I'm
just
messing
with
your
chair,
lady.
Don't
don't
kill
my
bills,
I'm
just
messing
with
you
right,
but
but
but
I
I
thank
you
for
for
the
information
and
it
brings.
It
brings
a
lot
more
clarity
to
me.
I
don't
know
if
anybody
else
was
a
little
bit.
G
Didn't
you
know
I
just
feel
like
I
didn't
get
completely
accurate
information.
You
know
during
the
last.
C
Excuse
me:
if
you'll
excuse
me,
mr
park
representative
parkerson,
we
can
clarify
that,
for
you.
Would
you
like
some
clarity.
G
Well,
let
me
let
me
ask
the
question
that
I
want
clarity
on
you,
yes,
ma'am
and,
and
let
me
get
clarity
on
number
one.
No,
no
offense
to
you
chair,
lady
weaver,
but
who's
cheering
right
now.
Is
it
chair,
lady
weaver?
Okay,
all
right!
Okay,
just
want
to
cause!
I
keep
on
looking
back
at
the
chair,
lady
moody
and
talking,
and
I
apologize
so
so
you
know
I.
I
asked
a
question
about.
G
You
know
history
and
inaccuracies
in
history,
and
I
might
the
response
I
was
given
was
I'm
only
here
for
math?
Basically
I'm
and
I'm
paraphrasing,
but
I
didn't
know
that
once
math
is
done
that
you
move
on
to
the
next
subject,
and
so
that's
why
I
I
felt
like
I,
you
know
the
information
that
I
received
wasn't
as
accurate
or
detailed
as
it
probably
should
have
been.
C
I'm
going
to
have
chairman
reagan,
give
you
some
information.
You're
recognized
chairman
raymond.
K
Thank
you.
The
textbook
review
cycle
is
a
six
year
cycle.
They
do
not
automatically
step
into
something.
That's
not
up
for
review
in
in
that
cycle.
In
this
particular
case,
math
is
up.
The
science
and
health
is
at
the
end
of
their
cycle.
I
could
not
tell
you
when
the
history
cycle
is
up,
but
it
would
not.
K
They
may
or
may
not
get
to
anything
beyond
that
cycle,
which
the
department
of
education,
the
state
school
board,
can
give
us
the
exact
cycle.
In
fact,
I
think
it's
on
their
website
that
these
textbooks
are
coming
up
for
review.
The
one
that
was
just
completed
prior
to
math
will
not
be
up
for
review
again
for
six
years.
G
G
Oh,
I'm
sorry,
I'm
looking
the
wrong
way
chair,
lady
weaver,
I'm
sorry,
chairman
reagan
cannot
answer
that
because
I
thought
we
were
kind
of
out
of
session
and
you
could
we.
K
Thank
you
and,
and
if
I
understood
your
question
correctly,
the
the
cycle
is
published
on
the
website,
so
you
can
see
which,
which
subject
area
is
coming
up
for.
A
C
G
G
You
thank
you
ma'am,
thank
you
and
thank
you
for
that.
You're
such
a
controversial
individual.
You
caused
all
of
this
right.
No,
I
am
the
please
honestly,
you
know
thank
you
for
for
your
clarification
for
me,
and
I
appreciate
you
being
here
and
and
look
forward
to
your
confirmation
all
right.
Thanks.
C
I
I
Thank
you
very
much
for
this
opportunity,
and
I
want
to
thank
everybody
for
what
you
do
for
the
the
state
and
again
I
am
a
wide
open
book.
If
you
guys
ever
need
to
get
in
touch
with
me.
I'd
be
more
than
glad
to
speak
with
you
about
anything
that
we're
working
with
with
the
commission
and
to
definitely
have
an
opportunity
to
be
able
to
collaborate
on
those
things
that
are
helping
our
students.
Thank.

So,

for

I
I
also.
I
ran
track
at
a
cause
of
bison
for
a
little
bit
of
time.
So
harding
university
is
a
great
amazing
school,
and
so
I
know
you'll
do
well
just
because
you

Thank

C
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
miss
representative
moody,
you're
recognized.
A
C
L
L
All
right,
thank
you
all
so
much
for
having
me
today.
It's
truly
an
honor
to
be
here
before
you.
I
was
appointed
well
asked
by
the
governor
to
serve
on
this
commission,
which
is
really
why
I'm
here
today.
L
So
let
me
tell
you
about
myself:
I've
been
a
high
school
teacher,
just
a
humble
guy
working
with
kids,
I
feel
very
honored
to
have
that
job
of
teaching,
kids,
I'm
a
social
studies,
teacher
and
I've
taught
a
number
of
subjects
over
the
years,
primarily
world
geography
for
about
15
years,
and
I
added
a
certification
in
economics.
So
now,
I'm
mostly
an
economics
teacher.
L
L
I
was
a
history
major
at
the
u
of
m,
but
I
also
had
enough
journalism
courses.
I
thought
I
had
an
idea
to
be
a
newspaper
reporter
for
a
while,
so
I
took
enough
courses
to
get
a
minor
in
journalism,
so
in
contemporary
issues
we
talk
about
current
subjects
and
everything.
That's
going
on,
but
anyway,
I'm
glad
to
have
been
a
high
school
teacher
last
year
at
millington
high
school.
L
I
was
the
teacher
of
the
year,
so
that
was
a
huge
honor
for
me,
so
getting
appointed
by
the
governor
also
a
huge
honor
and
I'm
glad
to
be
here.
I've
got
a
wife,
three
kids.
I
live
in
bartlett,
but
I
work
in
millington
if
you're
familiar
with
shelby
county,
it's
about
a
little
15
or
20
minute
drive
up
up
the
highway
to
my
school,
so
glad
to
be
here
today,
guys
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
L
Y'all
have
so
my
commission,
I
understand,
expires
in
june,
so
I'm
I
only
gonna
be
working
primarily
with
math
books.
C
That's
good!
Well,
we
we're
gonna,
take
questions
from
the
committee
members
and
the
first
one
on
the
line
is
I
see
representative
parkinson,
so
you're
recognized.
G
Mr
ryan,
thank
thank
you,

lady,
and
you
know
y'all
for
the
record

lady

my
across
the
aisle
desk
mate
on
the
house
floor.
So

this
back
and
forth
all
the
time
yeah
right,
but
I
appreciate
you
cheering
thank
you
and
and
and
thank
you

thank
you
for
offering
yourself
up
for
service
in

this
capacity,

L
G
What's
happening
here
and
and
I'm
glad

That's
that's
really
good
and
and
also
you

your
list
of
courses
that
you've
taught.
You
know
that
that
experience
is
very
important
and
that's
very
important
to
me.
You
know
so
you
know
what
your
what
your
resume
looks
like
is
very
important
to
me,
and
you
know
that
experience
is
needed
and
and
and
there's
a
you
know
if
you
look
at
you
know,
I
think
you
said
social
studies,
history
or
african
american
history
macroeconomics
now
have
you
done
micro?
G
Also,
we
don't
depart
from
that
course,
and
we
should
right
and
we
should
and
civics
did
you
say
civics
also.
G
Okay,
so
right,
that's
all
in
that
same
space
and
there's
a
there's,
a
a
a
perfect
and
complete
tie
with
all
of
the
courses
that
you've
taught
and
how
they
all
fit
fit
together,
and
you
know-
and
I
hope
that
the
students
are
are
being
rewarded
with
all
of
your
experience
and
and
and
if
you
you
work
with

you
gotta
be
good

anyway,

ties
to
each
other
since
his
days
of
at
raleigh,
egypt,
okay
and
so,
and
so
I
represent
that
area
I
also
represent.
I
think
I'm
the
only
person
up
here
that
represents
a
part
of
bartlett.
Also.
I
don't
know
if
you're
