KNOXVILLE (AP) -- The Tennessee Republican Party chairman says she has apologized to Buddhist and Hindu organizations for a piece of party campaign literature.
The mailer was intended as an attack on Governor-Elect Phil Bredesen and carried the headline, "What's Next? Sacred Cows?"
It criticized Bredesen for second-grade public school curriculum adopted when he was mayor of Nashville. The lessons include a mention of Hinduism and Buddhism. Bredesen represented Tennessee values.
