Knox County Schools cannot block a Christian charter school application on religious grounds despite a Tennessee law banning religious charter schools, according to a federal court ruling on Friday. The narrow decision applies only to Knox County Schools and the Wilberforce Academy of Knoxville, which sued the school district last year over its application of the state law. It does not strike down Tennessee’s religious charter school ban or guarantee that Wilberforce’s application will be approved. The ruling comes amid a growing national conservative push to greenlight taxpayer-funded religious schools . Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti declined to defend the 2002 law earlier this year after publicly calling it “likely” unconstitutional , leaving Knox County Schools to face a lawsuit challenging a state law it was required to enforce. Tennessee lawmakers also loosened the state’s restrictions on religious charter schools this year, allowing religious organizations to operate charter schools as long as the schools themselves remain nonreligious. Wilberforce, however, aims to open an explicitly

David Crockett statue replaces Edward Carmack’s former spot on Tennessee’s Capitol Hill

There’s a new statue outside Tennessee’s capitol building, honoring one of the state’s most legendary native sons: David Crockett. It’s a little ironic, because at the end of his life, Crockett felt that he was essentially forced to leave the state. As a Congressman, he was vocally opposed to the Indian Removal Act championed by another Tennessean, President Andrew Jackson. That stance made him unelectable in Tennessee.
