In today's news, using "god"...

Tenn. bill would allow public employees to opt out of training using religious exemption 😵

This means first responders, teachers, or any other public servant would not have to do things like diversity, safety, sexual harassment, or other training.

“This bill opens so many issues, but at its core I do think its targeting diversity training,” Tennessee Equality Project Executive Director Chris Sanders said.

Odd that teachers will be exempt. If it worked like that they wouldn’t be needed.
