NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) - A bill that would require school districts to potentially ask children about their citizenship status was approved in the Senate on Thursday. The vote was 19-13, meaning it wasn't down Republican and Democratic party lines. Those in the gallery started screaming after the vote. "Anymore outbursts and you'll be removed and arrested," Lt. Gov. Randy McNally said, gaveling hard at the dais. "Y'all are going to burn in hell," a person from the gallery screamed.
