TN Education Dept. lists 14 race, history concepts that cannot be taught in classrooms
The Tennessee Department of Education is tweaking a new set of rules covering what can and what can’t be taught when it comes to race and history in classrooms.
Those topics have been at the center of lots of debate around the country. While the term critical race theory isn’t used in the guidelines for Tennessee schools, you may have heard it in connection with the issue. A draft of new rules came out in August after a bill passed in the General Assembly and the public had a chance to weigh in.
The modified version still has a list of 14 prohibited concepts, including that race or sex makes a person inherently privileged and that the U.S. is fundamentally racist.
However, it gives the state the possibility to take away more funding if it finds violations. Provided below is a document containing the Department of Education’s rules and specifically prohibited concepts in instruction
a) One (1) race or sex is inherently superior to another race or sex;
(b) An individual, by virtue of the individual’s race or sex, is inherently privileged, racist,
sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or subconsciously;
(c) An individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment because of
the individual’s race or sex;
(d) An individual’s moral character is determined by the individual’s race or sex;
(e) An individual, by virtue of the individual’s race or sex, bears responsibility for actions
committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex;
(f) An individual should feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or another form of psychological
distress solely because of the individual’s race or sex;
