MEMPHIS, Tenn. (WVLT) — Tennessee teachers shouldn’t talk about American slavery and race together. That’s what the State’s Tea Party is saying.
Its on of a list of the five legislative priorities presented to state legislators by several Tennessee tea parties, includes a proposal to eliminate from history books references to the Founding Fathers owning slaves or encroaching on Native American lands, originally reported by a Memphis newspaper.
We talked to Tea Party leader Hal Rounds Wednesday. He described the way slavery is taught now as race-baiting.
