Why it matters:

If this passes, districts could legally ignore teachers’ requests to negotiate basic working conditions, shrinking channels for pay and safety advocacy when schools and staff need them most.

Here's #Google making up some more crazy bullshit (they didn't even need AI to do it).

See the picture featured prominently by Google above the search results? The one Google has labeled "Todd Warner, Tennessee State Representative?" Yeah, that's not him. The guy in that photo is named Todd Warner alright, but he's from Pennsylvania, not Tennessee.

Oh, and he's a murderer!

"ABHORRENT: Against the will of the people—including survivors of The Covenant School shooting in Nashville—Tennessee lawmakers just passed a dangerous bill to allow teachers to carry guns in schools. What’s worse: Parents will not be notified if their child’s teacher is armed."
-Moms Demand Action

"Tennessee remains the arena of one of the fiercest debates over gun policy nationwide."
