Tenn. law bans posting images that "cause emotional distress"

More kids today need to read 1984, maybe shrinking government could be the next hippy movement. Not like there are any jobs so they will have plenty of time to do it!

Plenty of kids have: they are incapable of seeing that which they have been raised to endure as oppressive. I myself read it and did not see anything wrong with certain Federal limits on Constitutional liberties until my father cleared the air for me.

I hope whoever introduced that bill never gets re-elected for anything.

It appears that they feel the same way.

The law won't stand because it is unconstitutionally vague and subjective.
