(The Hill) - Republicans have long despised the federal government's involvement in education, but lawmakers in Tennessee are considering an unprecedented step: rejecting all federal funding in the name of ending Washington's "excessive overreach."

Randy McNally (R) said when he appointed the Joint Working Group on Federal Education Funding.Republican Gov. Bill Lee has embraced the move, saying it will lead to more state and local control over schools.“The federal government has had excessive ov...Cottage Grove: Animal-cruelty investigation underway after eight dogs found dead
