- Tennessee state representative, candidate for governor plans to ban mosques, non-Christian religions if elected
Tennessee state representative Monty Fritts, a Republican candidate for governor, plans to ban non-Christian religions including Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism if elected, arguing the First Amendment allows states to do so. The proposal conflicts with U.S. constitutional protections and would affect tens of thousands of Tennesseans, with the Tennessee primary election on August 6.
