This amazing work of #art titled “The Price You Pay” by high school student Anna McDowell of Hendersonville, #Tennessee is 1 of 33 in the “Young Tennessee #Artists 2024” exhibit currently on display at the #FristArtMuseum in #Nashville.
There were other selections from #Memphis to #Morristown , but none from schools in #RutherfordCounty which are unfortunately most widely known for #BookBans. I wonder if there’s a connection? 🤔 https://www.chalkbeat.org/tennessee/2024/09/20/library-books-beloved-banned-by-tennessee-rutherford-county-schools/

Chimney Rock, in #RutherfordCounty, has become one of the centers of tension & conflict after a #lie spread on social media [by #Trump] that govt ofcls planned to seize the village & bulldoze bodies under the rubble. Authorities & news outlets debunked the lie, but people took to social media imploring #militias to go after #FEMA.
A person familiar w/FEMA ops…said the agency, working out of an abundance of caution,…were operating at fixed locations & secure areas instead of…going door to door. -

Another #news story to be added to the “#SexualAssault of a minor by #Coach or #Pastor “ file 👉 🗄️. This time from #RutherfordCounty , #Tennessee. 👀 👉 https://www.wsmv.com/2024/07/02/rutherford-county-soccer-coach-jailed-rape-charges/
Note that the #journalist mentions that #NathanSweet is an #Environment #Science teacher before mentioning he is the Head Girls #Soccer Coach. This proves they have zero understanding of how large #PublicSchools operate in the #USA. But that’s a different rant. 🤷🏻♂️

@SrRochardBunson You can always ask failed #Tennessee gubernatorial candidate and one-term #RutherfordCounty Mayor #BillKetron about his proposed #Tennessee currency ridiculed as “Ketron bucks”! 😂 👉 https://www.capitol.tn.gov/Bills/107/Bill/SJR0098.pdf
Knowing Bill, I’m guessing he was inspired by the currency of the Confederate States of #America. 🤔
