Gov. Bill Lee calls school choice the "civil rights issue of our time" ahead of a Thursday primary election.
Lee 's comments, first made during a primetime address at the Republican National Committee , rankled Democrats and some educators.
Opponents of Lee ’s plan warn a universal voucher program will damage Tennessee public schools, which are open to all.
Gov. Bill Lee 's signature proposal for a voucher program failed in the General Assembly this spring .
Democrats have long opposed school vouchers, warning they'll act as a coupon system for wealthy families and potentially send the state budget into a tailspin.
Lee has taken the rare step of endorsing candidates in competitive Republican primaries while groups like Americans for Prosperity and the School Freedom Fund pledged to inject millions into Tennessee legislative races.
