Governor Bill Lee stated that President Donald Trump's executive order will allow states to control education and eliminate what he sees as unnecessary federal bureaucracy.
Lee noted that Trump’s administration supports Tennessee's recent universal school choice legislation and praised Secretary Linda McMahon for her understanding of parental control in education.

During a press conference, Lee argued that the federal government's requirements have not improved educational outcomes in Tennessee and emphasized efficient tax dollar usage.
