Yet it seems some parents in Memphis asked if they could opt their kids out of Tennessee's mandatory gun safety class. Memphis-Shelby County Schools physical education and health teachers began leading one-day gun safety classes under a new state law requiring firearm safety curriculum in all Tennessee public schools. It's not pushing a narrative, either for or against the Second Amendment, but is instead simply teaching kids basic gun safety. Why people would take issue with a safety class is beyond me.
