(On reading): nope, this is just common-or-garden far-right American craziness. Craziness like this isn't even *rare* in state legislatures, sadly. There are a *lot* of crazy people in America, and many of them appear to gravitate to the state legislatures of red states.

This is one of the reasons why my hackles rise every time someone talks about localism and devolution as being good and centralisation as being bad.

I'm not sure what a far-right piece of state legislation in the USA would have to look like in order to be too crazy for me to believe it.
