Tennessee lawmakers want to add Sept. 11th terror attacks history lesson on 9/11 each year
By: Kaylin Jorge, Justin McFarland, FOX17, February 25th 2020:
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — Tennessee lawmakers want to make sure that the September 11th terror attack doesn’t become one of the stories that is skipped in a history book.
This is the poster on which the suicide attackers who killed more than 3,000 people in the USA on September 11 are being hailed by a Muslim group as ‘The Magnificent 19’.
Tennessee’s House of Representatives passed legislation this week that makes sure teachers will spend time focused on one of the most tragic days in American history.
Rep. Jason Zachary (R-Knoxville) and Sen. Richard Briggs (R-Knoxville), sponsors of HB 1559 and SB 1604, believe the state’s schools should teach about the tragedy and heroism that day.
Under the proposal, schools and teachers would be encouraged to teach students from Kindergarten to 12th grade about the terror attacks on Sept. 11 each year.
The bill encourages teachers to start lesson plans at 8:46 a.m. – the exact time that hijacked plane American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center, killing everyone on board and hundreds inside the building.
“September 11th, 2001 was a day in our nation of great tragedy, but it was also a day that represented the best of who we are as Americans,” Rep. Zachary said. “Many of us stayed glued to our TVs on 9/11 watching our first responders and the thousands of volunteers that came to the aid of Americans who were affected and those who were killed in such a tragedy on 9/11.”
Teachers would use phrases like “Never Forget” and “United We Stand” under the bill. Their lessons would last for at least 9 minutes and 11 seconds.
Under the latest amendment, these lessons would be “encouraged” rather than mandated. It passed the full House with a vote of 95-0.
The companion bill is working its way through state Senate before going to the Governor.

Knowing public school teachers, and their unions, the nine minutes, eleven seconds would be spent reciting the shittada and other such vile muslem squealing.
‘Most beautiful sound on earth’ if you are mental! What absolutely floors me is why an Islamic, anti-Western, anti-American, Muslim Brotherhood and Muslim terror-supporting organization like CAIR is permitted to continue existing in the United States. The enemy is within, yet no one puts an end to it. This is insanity.

SOMEONE will sue Tennessee for this. I AM ALL FOR IT, but Muslims and liberal useful idiots will not like this, at all.
19 years ago. There aren’t any kids in our schools who remember that day. Too little too late.

Did we learn anything from 9/11? The answer is NO! Our Navy just resumed flight training for Saudi Arabian military personnel. We now have two Muslim females(?) in congress which are a total disgrace with their behavior. We are sewing the seeds of our own destruction.
The West has gone cowardly and stupid. It matters not how often Muslims announce their intention to defeat the West and impose sharia, or conduct murderous attacks on civilians, it fails to penetrate the minds of many Westerners, worst of all its leaders who are in fact excuses for leaders – such as Germany’s Angela Merkel, Canada’s Justin Trudeau, France’s Immanuel Macron, and a whole host of morons in Sweden and Norway who hate the likes of Hungary’s Viktor Orban who refuses to accept Muslim migrants into his country.
There is no point in us ridiculing Muslims for being ‘inbred’ and thus stupid, when many in the West display similar stupidity.
Are you telling us that the navy resumed flight training of Saudi Arabians even after the murderous attack by one in Pensacola?

Full courses should be taught on this horrendous murderous act in the name of “their” god. But they won’t be, because … well, we know why. Terror.

While at the same time Governor Lee of TN is bringing in more of them to our state and that’s not including all the ones Obama brought in.
Then add all the illegals that have crept into here……
I don’t recognize my home state anymore.
Note to Governor LEE: I will donate to any REPUBLICAN who runs against you if they are a Conservative and will undo everything you are doing. You are not a Republican….you are a RINO.

Outside of Memphis where I was born….came back after 45 years to try to put my brother and his family in prison for what they did to our Dad…..
This ain’t the Memphis/Tennesse where I grew up.
Good, as long as they don’t spend the whole time “learning” how “Islam is peace”.

Damn right this should be taught in schools, in every damn school in the F’K’n country, and 9/11 there should be a special day of remembering in all schools, where video clips are shown to all students, of people jumping out of the buildings, trying to fly, and the F’K’n muslims all over the dam world cheering……
