Tennessee bill mandates civics education in private schools receiving public funds.
The Tennessee bill amends education codes to ensure private schools receiving public funds provide civics education. Schools must designate time for students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance, offer age-appropriate civics and American history instruction, avoid promoting certain concepts, and not support foreign laws that violate U.S. or Tennessee Constitutions. Military recruiters must be allowed on campus. The changes apply from the 2026-2027 school year.
