Opponents of a bill that could ban pride flags in classrooms question whether it would allow Nazi flags
A key House committee voted 12 to 4 to advance a controversial bill that would effectively ban pride flags in Tennessee classrooms Wednesday. That vote followed a vocal debate that even involved questions of whether the bill would allow Nazi and Confederate flags in classrooms.Representative Gino Bulso’s, R-Brentwood, says he’s proposing the bill to ensure children aren’t exposed to values in the classroom that their parents oppose.“(This bill) really addresses one issue, which is whether parents should be the ones who decide what values their children are exposed to when they go to school. Prior to filing this bill, I received complaints from parents in my county and other counties about the presence of different political flags in classrooms across the state,” said Bulso.
