Our Challenges

Even as Tennessee has a tradition of fostering deep respect for civil liberties, and protecting the sanctity of the family and individual personage, our state is not immune to the divisive and dehumanizing ideologies that are trending in other parts of the country. 

Ø  Several organizations, business and legislators here in Tennessee support policies that enable identity politics, race essentialism, censorship, surveillance, digital currency and tracking, and a disregard for biological sex. 

Ø  Some Tennessee schools, employers, universities, and even churches are training their staffs to adjust interactions based on group identities. 

Ø  Univerisities are changing psychology textbooks and accreditation requirements to shift the practice of counseling to assume privilege, race, and gender as focal points of therapy.
