Tennessee passes ‘Gateway Sexual Activity’ Bill

Erica Ho for Time:

At the heart of the matter, most of the controversy stems from the “gateway sexual activity” line, which remains vague and was not clearly defined before the bill went to vote. Some detractors argue that it could unreasonably punish teachers for allowing students to cuddle, hold hands or even hug, whether in the halls between classes or at a school dance.

Burying your head in the sand doesn’t make things go away.
