The bill also bans students from 'licking oneself or others for the purpose of grooming or maintenance.' It’s silent on coughing up hairballs.

When looking to see what’s on the horizon for bad governance in Florida, it’s a good idea to look toward Texas.

Legislative actions enacted in the Lone Star State frequently serve as inspiration for Florida lawmakers.

It was Texas that passed the near-abortion-ban bill that Florida copied. It was Texas that gave Florida lawmakers the idea to make it illegal for local jurisdictions to mandate water breaks for outside workers during the summer months.

And it was Texas that gave Florida the idea to cast aside First Amendment concerns by allowing religious chaplains to serve as counselors in public schools.
