From the cited article:
"Ketron said he and House Speaker Pro Tempore Judd Matheny, R-Tullahoma, were given the bill by the Tennessee Eagle Forum.
Eagle Forum state President Bobbie Patray said it was drafted by David Yerushalmi, an Arizona-based attorney who runs the Society of Americans for National Existence, a nonprofit that claims following Shariah is treasonous.
Yerushalmi has written for years in conservative media about what he calls the danger of Shariah and its central role in Islam. He has represented Pamela Geller, who leads the group Stop Islamization of America ..."
So the lawmaker didn't even write the legislative language, but had a group of bigoted zealots do it for him. Pandering scumbag.

"Tennessee Eagle Forum" and the "Society of Americans for National Existence", Hoo boy. The first one sounds like a Bird of Prey advocacy, the second one sounds like a bunch of apocolyptic nutbags. "The END is Nigh!!! Join us before America ceases to exist!!!!"
What's next? "The True Blue Patriotic and God Fearing Americans for Unrelenting Yankee Doodle Dandiness"?
Geez, can't anyone just love this country anymore without forming silly groups of yahoos?
