That Stacey Campfield who sponsored this is a real asshole. He was involved with the whole don't say gay bill embarrassment. This is an effing outrage. Let's starve children and put them on the streets if they're not doing well in school

Hateful, hateful asshole. This just makes me sick.

The unintended consequence of this bill (or at least one) will be a huge spike in the number of children requiring services from child protective services due to abuse/neglect.

Not to mention the fact that this could put teachers in literal mortal in some cases with angry students/parents.

I don't believe this will pass, but I just don't understand what happened to reason, not just in Tennessee, but in all these red states.

In addition to what you've noted, I could see teachers having a moral dilemma giving students bad grades if they know students are on assistance.

Why is it that people think that just because they pass a law, it will make the problem go away? In many cases all they'll do by passing the law is make things worse, and more expensive!
