'Tennessee Three' Member Justin Jones Removed from Education Committee Amid School Voucher Controversy

Jones accuses House Speaker Cameron Sexton of silencing dissent as tensions escalate over the proposed school voucher program.

Justin Jones, a member of the 'Tennessee Three', claims he has been removed from the state Education Administration Committee as the Tennessee House Republicans prepare to push a controversial school voucher program.
Jones, along with two other lawmakers, was previously expelled from the Tennessee House for participating in a gun control protest, but later won back his seat.
The proposed school voucher program, which aims to provide 20,000 students with about $7,000 each to attend private schools, has been criticized for potentially diverting state funds from public schools.
Jones has accused the Speaker of the Tennessee House, Cameron Sexton, of abusing his position to silence dissent and erode democracy in Tennessee.
Jones' removal from the committee marks an escalation in tensions between him and Sexton, with Jones recently accusing Sexton of being 'drunk with power'.
