Learn accurate information about gender neutral pronouns at UT-K

The Issue

Family Action of Tennessee is urging its members to contact the Legislature about the University of Tennessee-Knoxville's practice of introducing the university community to gender neutral pronouns.  Based on distorted news reports, Family Action is trying to get the Legislature to pressure UT to drop it.  We say that they should let UT-K determine its own programming and find the best ways to make its campus welcoming for all students.  Please, contact members of key education committees in the Legislature to provide accurate information.
