NEWS FLASH

Tennessee Discrimination Law May Have Gone Further Than Intended | The Tennessee Legislature recently passed a law overturning LGBT non-discrimination ordinances like the one Nashville had passed. According to a new lawsuit, the damage was more severe, and may have also voided school board anti-bullying policies that protect LGBT students. The bill’s language was broad enough to include any form of local government and policy in relation to which classes can be “protected.”
