The Tennessee Education Association lawsuit argues that following the passage of the state's law, teachers were facing the threat of enforcement proceedings under"ill-defined standards, resulting in termination, license revocation, and reputational damage, for teaching lessons they have taught for years, taking students on field trips to sites of great historical importance, and answering students' questions about some of the most consequential issues they, and our nation, face.
The court documents state that nearly a million public school students had been affected by the law, and cited examples of a field trip to a civil rights museum being replaced with a baseball game and a choir director who feared he could no longer teach his students about"the history behind spirituals sung by enslaved people."
When the legislation was signed by Lee, the governor told reporters that students should be taught about"the exceptionalism of our nation" and"that this country is moving toward a more perfect union" rather than"things that inherently divide."
