If you think that law is bizarre, try this one on for size:
A bill currently making its way through the TX legislature would require all public schools and charter schools in the state to have "bleeding stations", and mandates that students as young as in the 3rd grade be trained in battlefield wound care.
OK, Jimmy Joe, let's see you put a tourniquet on the stump that used to be Miss Crabtree's arm - but hurry, because she's bleeding out and it's making a real mess...

This is problem-solving, Texas style. Don't address the problem itself, just figure out a way to mitigate the results without actually doing anything that could avoid the problem in the first place.
