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.
Tennessee students will soon be required to watch a video that critics say constitutes medical misinformation about fetal development in their sex education classes.
A bill that requires that schools show a fetal development video in classrooms and names one produced by a pro-life advocacy group passed the Tennessee House of Representatives last week and is making its way through the Senate.
