Got an idea for TN. If a child not on welfare fails, increase his parent’s state and Fed income tax by 30%.

House panel advances welfare penalty for parents
A Tennessee House committee on Tuesday recommended passing a bill that would dock the welfare payments of parents of children who fail at a school despite Republican Gov. Bill Haslam’s opposition to the measure.
The House Government Operations Committee voted 8-4 to give a positive recommendation to the bill sponsored by Rep. Vance Dennis of Savannah even after hearing from a representative from Haslam’s office that the governor has serious concerns about the bill.
House Speaker Beth Harwell, a Republican, has also raised concerns about the measure that would cut Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF, benefits by 30 percent if a child fails to advance to the next grade.
The money could be earned back if a parent attends two conferences with teachers, takes parenting classes or enrolls the child in tutoring programs or summer school.

And he was supportive of the underhanded redistricting tactic that the Republican legislature pulled by waiting until a black legislator who was invited to the presidential inauguration for his years of civil rights work safely out of town to bring up to a vote.

In April 2010, Cuccinelli served a civil investigative demand on the University of Virginia seeking a broad range of documents related to Michael E. Mann, a climate researcher now at Penn State who was an assistant professor at UVA from 1999 to 2005.”

CA says even if you get straight As, you have to be able to pass the state test. IIRC, you first take it in your sophomore year, once in the fall, once in the spring and once you pass it, you’re done.
So a minimum of 6 attempts (you can request to take it again by scheduling with the school/district) over 3 years, and some families are surprised by the news their kid won’t get a diploma.

Texas Rep. Cites Biblical Flood as Example of Climate Change
In his five-minute remarks today on the Keystone Pipeline, Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, pointed out a “divergence of evidence” on global warming, citing the biblical Great Flood as an example of climate change.
Barton delivered remarks today at the Subcommittee on Energy and Power hearing in support of the Northern Route Approval Act, legislation that would grant Congress the authority to approve the controversial Keystone petroleum pipeline.“I would point out that people like me who support hydrocarbon development don’t deny that climate is changing,” Barton, 63, said. “I think you can have an honest difference of opinion of what’s causing that change without automatically being either all in – that’s all because of mankind or it’s all just natural. I think there’s a divergence of evidence.”
But it was his reference to the biblical flood that left people scratching their heads.
Although Barton acknowledged the changing climate, he compared the changing environment to the biblical story of Noah’s Ark and the Great Flood in an attempt to defend his claim that natural tendencies can perpetuate climate change.
“I would point out that if you’re a believer in the Bible, one would have to say the Great Flood is an example of climate change, and that certainly wasn’t because mankind had overdeveloped hydrocarbon energy,” he said.

Yeah, right.
The actual story:

is about Black Sea flooding. It’s not a new idea, and indeed is proposed as one of the originating events for the flood stories of the old Sumerians.
Yet it is not the “Biblical flood”, as all the literalists will rightly point out, because the Genesis flood is claimed to be worldwide and an explicit act of judgement.

North Carolina Lawmaker Calls Muslim Prayer ‘Terrorism’
Rep. Michele Presnell (R) was a co-sponsor of North Carolina’s proposed (and since dropped) unconstitutional resolution to establish a state religion. But when one of her constituents challenged her idea of imposing a religion on others, asking in an email if Presnell would “be comfortable with a public prayer to Allah before a legislative meeting in Raleigh,” that’s when Presnell got Islamophobic:
In an email exchange with a constituent, Republican state Rep. Michele Presnell of Burnsville was asked whether she was comfortable with a prayer to Allah before a legislative meeting. Presnell responded: “No, I do not condone terrorism.”[…]
[Constituent Britt] Kaufmann replied: “Yes, I do understand that the ACLU is suing Rowan County and I think they have clearly articulated why they are not comfortable with prayer before the commissioners meetings. I wanted you, as my representative, to know that I do not think the proposed bill is a good solution to that problem. … Would you be comfortable with a public prayer to Allah before a legislative meeting in Raleigh?”
Presnell equated Islam to terrorism and added,“We just need to start taking a stand on our religious freedom or it will be whisked away from us.”

The headline is wrong. Just wrong. And it is multiply misleading.
Yet that won’t matter… because the headline wasn’t written to be true, it was written to get attention.
