Gov. Bill Lee's press secretary Casey Black said Lee "believes Tennessee students should be taught history and civics with facts, not divisive political commentary," in a statement on the bill signing toTennessee is one of several states to implement such restrictions, alongside Florida, Oklahoma, Texas and more.
Critics of the policies call the requirements "vague" and "subjective" and say they infringe on teachers' ability to teach certain subjects.
