Given that most of their population is Black and descended from African slaves but presumably extremely few to none of them originally came from modern-day Chad, this feels vaguely racist (of course, there's a neighbouring Sahel country which would be a much worse option...).

St. Thomas was a chad (obviously).
St. John the Evangelist was a virgin. Literally couldn't even enter the tomb himself.
The Holy Cross is chad but only if you are a believer; otherwise, it's virgin.

Okay, I'll admit it, this is actually a funny idea.

This seems like a legitimate Matt Gaetz bill.

Only if Republicans never manage to win anything major in the state ever again.
