SB1828

Tennessee SB1828 allows public schools and higher education institutions to teach the positive impacts of religion on American history.

Tennessee SB1828 amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, to allow local educational agencies, public charter schools, and teachers in public schools to provide instruction on the positive impacts of religion on American history. This includes topics such as the history of the Pilgrims, the religious views of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, and the influence of religious leaders like Reverend John Witherspoon. The bill also allows faculty or instructors at public institutions of higher education to include similar instruction on religion's positive impacts in their courses.
