PROPOSED TENNESSEE BILL WOULD BAN LGBTQ+ AND OTHER FLAGS FROM DISPLAY IN SCHOOLS

A bill introduced by Tennessee State Representative Gino Bulso (R-Brentwood) would ban schools in Tennessee from displaying any flags other than the state and United States flags.

House Bill 1605 states that any public school shall not display any flag other than the United States flag and the official Tennessee state flag on or in a public school.

If passed, it would be illegal for teachers to display pride flags or transgender flags inside classrooms. As written, it would also ban schools from displaying other flags as well.

For example, a history or social studies teacher would not be able to put up historical flags.

If passed, the law would affect all city and county public schools in Tennessee.
