A Tennessee House subcommittee this week has given the green light to the "Don't Say Gay" bill, the Tennessean reported.
The bill, which was introduced by Republican state Sen. Stacey Campfield, would prohibit public school teachers from mentioning homosexuality and LGBT issues to students until they enter the ninth grade. Additionally, the measure would mandate that only "natural human reproduction science" be taught in public schools.
