NEW YORK — 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 Tennessee Education Association and five Tennessee public school educators behind the lawsuit believe the Tennessee policy that bans certain concepts from being included in curriculum, programs or supplemental materials complicates how students learn about"controversial" subjects such as slavery, the Holocaust, 9/11 and more.
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." "The Ban thus deprives Tennessee's public-school students of the information, ideas, and skills — analytical thinking, reasoned analysis, historical understanding, debate — that are central to any concept of civic education in a democratic system," the lawsuit read.
