Tennessee lawmakers passed bills to force students to watch a video on abortion education which some medical experts say is inaccurate, learn about gun safety and allow teachers to carry guns in schools. All of it comes with no parental opt-outs for the education bills nor any transparency for teachers carrying guns. In essence, parents can’t know if a teacher is carrying a gun unless the teacher discloses it.
The TN Department of Safety and TBI said they were concerned about the bill, saying it may let people bring guns in areas like DCS offices, jails or other areas.

State Rep. Alex Andrade, a self-described “conservative fighter,” proposed the House bill after a failed attempt at pushing the legislation into law last year.
