Lawmaker wants to make June 2025 ‘Nuclear Family Month' in Tennessee
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — A Franklin County Republican lawmaker hopes to designate this June as 'Nuclear Family Month' in the Volunteer State.
Rep. Iris Rudder (R-Winchester) has filed a joint resolution in the Tennessee General Assembly that would designate June 2025 as Nuclear Family Month.
'Whereas, the nuclear family, consisting of one husband, one wide, and any biological, adopted, or fostered children, is God's design for familial structure and has been the bedrock of society since the creation of the world,' the resolution begins.
The resolution also calls the nuclear family the 'basic building block of Tennessee's society throughout her formative years' and has 'built the United States of America and created prosperity within our nation.'
The resolution also denounces the 'humanistic, globalist ideologies' of the World Health Organization, the United Nations and 'like-minded organizations that fight for population control through the means of promoting sterilization and abortion practices,' stating the nuclear family is 'under attack' and it is the state's responsibility to 'uplift, protect, and support values that help Tennessee prosper.'
