Tennessee and "Choose Life"--Step up to the plates

Another dose of certain people in certain state governments pushing their personal, faith-based agenda. Tennessee allows pro-life plates only and puts church before state.

You can make the laws, state governments, and we abide by them. Overall, you represent us--ALL of us, and not just one faction of society. And, you, state governments, are obligated to follow constitutional law, first and foremost. Allowing state license plates with the message “Choose Life” and not allowing any other views is not legal, and it sends the message that the state is willing to override the separation of church and state. Sorry, I had to use that phrase, but we have it for a reason.

Oops, Tennessee, you messed up. Well, you can fix it. And, until it is legal for states to support only one side of faith-based issues, then you better step up and right your wrong. Take back the plates or allow every other view to be represented.
