Tennessee ban on teaching critical race theory gets state Assembly OK
Fox News
The Tennessee General Assembly has advanced a proposed ban on the teaching of critical race theory.
State Sen. Brian Kelsey, a Republican from Memphis, argued that teaching the theory would be "harmful to our students." "Critical Race Theory teaches that American democracy is a lie. It teaches that the rule of law does not exist & is instead a series of power struggles among racial groups. It is harmful to our students & is antithetical to everything we stand for as Americans & as Tennesseans," Kelsey tweeted Wednesday.More Related News
