A teachers union in Tennessee has filed a federal lawsuit against the state education department's restrictions on curriculum regarding race and gender in public schools.
The law requires an "impartial discussion of controversial aspects of history" as well as "impartial instruction on the historical oppression of a particular group of people based on race, ethnicity, class, nationality, religion, or geographic region."
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.
