A pair of Republican douchebags lawmakers in Tennessee have introduced a draconian piece of legislation that will, if passed, withhold welfare benefits to mostly poor, black low-income families if their children perform poorly in school.
Yeah, you heard that right. But let me say it again anyway: Tennessee Republicans, like Republican lawmakers everywhere always fighting each other for top spot on the "Bigot Of The Year" totem pole, want to hold back lush, extravagant welfare benefits to families with academically underperforming children because many are black they wish to "decrease expenditures" while encouraging "personal responsibility".
Uh-huh.
The bill, sponsored by Sen. Stacey Campfield (R-Racist) and Rep. Vance Dennis (R-Bigot), "...requires the reduction of Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) payments for parents or caretakers of TANF recipients whose children fail to maintain satisfactory progress in school."
Ain't that sweet?
