Veto The "Religious Viewpoints Anti-discrimination Act" In Tennessee

Created by C.P. on March 26, 2014

Tennessee is attempting to pass a bill that gives students the rights to use religion in any way they choose.

“Should this pass, students with a range of religious beliefs, as well as non-believers, would likely routinely be required to listen to religious messages or participate in religious exercises that conflict with their own beliefs,” the ACLU adds.(thedailygrind.com)

Attacks on LGBT people and same-sex marriage are automatically protected under this bill, offering anti-gay students a state-sposored license to bully.

This act violates the separation of church and state. It gives people the freedom to be "non-discriminated against" with their religion, but what about all of the people that will suffer discrimination if this passes?
