Summary

The bill adds new sections to Tennessee’s education code permitting K‑12 public schools, charter schools, and public colleges to include instruction on how Judeo‑Christian values have shaped U.S. history. It lists specific historical examples—pilgrims, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, civil‑rights leaders, etc.—that may be taught as evidence of religion’s influence. The legislation frames this teaching as consistent with the First Amendment and not as proselytizing.
