Tennessee Three defy the super Republican majority in the state legislature

• On March 27, 2023, a mass school shooting occurred at The Covenant School, a Presbyterian Church in America parochial elementary school in the Green Hills neighborhood of Nashville, Tennessee, left six people, including three children dead.
• Two dead in shooting, including the DJ, at South Nashville lounge on April 23, 2023.

First Lady Dr. Jill Biden attended  memorial for the victims of the Tennessee Covenant Christian School shootings.

Echo opinion letter to the editor of Tuscon.com in Arizona:

It is bad enough that the Republican super majority of the Tennessee Legislature intended to expel members for voicing their opinion that the Legislature should do something about gun violence in the wake of the horrible, but sadly routine, Nashville shooting where . How could the Republican Legislature make that position any worse? Yet they found a way - only expelling the two young black males members while sparing the one white female member. 

Now, the three are proudly labeled "The Tennessee Three!"

Ideological differences were not enough for the Republican majority. They had to stoop to overt racism. Is uppityness a word?
