@Serious
It takes year for a lot of these kids to be properly diagnosed.
Like @Poppa_Dock said maybe it's time we start thinning the heard? Is that your sentiment?
It's hard for a kid to succeed if he doesn't have clothes or can eat? Right?
Probably harder if he doesn't have lights or heat?
Maybe he lives in a shelter?
This is a war against minorities and the poor.

well it seems a little cooky, but im not actually against it
I understand the law is aimed at lower income families whom are probably primarily comprised of blacks but how can a society justify, individuals receiving anything less than a D- minus 
as acceptable. That's why I find this all humorous and sad at the same damn time..This bill should not effect one damn person.

Fukk your corny debates
I know this seems a bit radical,but who the heck can't maintain a 1.0 gpa.
I understand a 2.0(C average), might be pushing it, due to the difficulty surrounding rigorous courses like geometry, pre-alegbra and geology
seems like there's a special clause for people with disabilities...
You are really supporting this bullshyt? Really bruh? You don't see the utter inanity in making social welfare benefits for adults dependant upon what children do? Do you know how many factors go into a child's academic performance?

Not trolll here at all....
SOunds like a good idea in theory. If you can't help your kids to get a passing grade D...1.0gpa...then damn. Your job essentially would be to make sure the kid shows up AND is at least making an effort. Do you realize how hard it is to get a D while actually going to school?
If you're suspended fine I get it, a D is probably not going to be possible, if you're ditching it's doable, but a little harder. To actually show up though, and get a D...really? We can't hold ourselves to the D standard?
Again this is sound in theory, i'm assuming there would be special circumstances for special needs kids but ultimately how is this bad?
My idea would have been this plus in the cases where an able bodied person was receiving assistance they should be required to perform some community service, like 5 week or something.
Welfare is a problem, it has turned from a helping hand into a mental crutch. I'm not for taking it away, but what's wrong for asking someone to work a little for what they get for free?
Or even better yet, particularly for food stamps, limit what can be purchased. I see far to many micro wave dinners junk food. Limit that shyt to healthy food, or at least cut off some of the items you can purchase.

basically, what's funny is that stopping this bill all of sudden becomes the "black agenda" this is what black politicians get payed to do, stop a bill that says kids have to get grades
what's forgotten is that the black agenda IS that black kids get good grades, so what agenda are people pursuing by trying to stop this bill?
fool.
What if you have multiple kids? Do they just average out the GPAs?
Republicans are funny.
Republicans are funny.
exactly, i dont think its the greatest idea in the history of mankind but i dont see that its end of the world
i think people need to lay down their communist manifesto and take a deep breath, and just relax and think things through
What about Texas and Arizona that are Republican states with immigrants?
Texas not turning Blue anytime soon, even with the influx of immigrants.
The Tennessee Republicans can't touch the laws and policy in the city. Which make them upset.
lol why would you compare your state to texas....y'all share no similarities
should've picked a swing state to learn from....there are tips in their political evolutionary process your state would best be served to understand and utilize
