*Tennessee’s ban <www.foxnews.com/category/us/us-regions/southeast/tennessee>on drag shows when children are present will remain in effect, as the Supreme Court earlier this week refused to hear a challenge to the law brought on by a drag performance group, a move the state’s Republican attorney general heralded as “another big win for Tennessee.”*
*The state’s Adult Entertainment Act, passed in 2023, does not allow “adult-oriented performances” in public spaces, or anywhere where minors may see them.*
*”Free speech is a sacred American value, but the First Amendment does not require Tennessee to allow sexually explicit performances in front of children,” Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti said in a post on X. “We will continue to defend TN’s law and children.”*
