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!
