This bill is inane. So perhaps the way to stop it is with inanity.

First, an alternative name.

How about “Putting Black and Hispanic Children To Work Act”?

Black and Hispanic parents would like that, the government providing work for their children to perform instead of idling their time away, getting into mischief, hanging out all day playing games, and things like that. No more drugs, teenage pregnancy, gangs, being arrested and sent to jail, but strictly hard labor in uniforms, and learning how to be productive citizens.

In a pigs eye. Black and Hispanic parents would be up in arms, and screaming loudly.

Maybe call it the “Reeducation For Slavery Reparations Act”?

With a catchy slogan, like “Work Makes Reparations”, over the gate of the “campuses”. American descendants of slaves can get the full experience of what plantation slavery was like, doing such things as hoeing and picking cotton, living in compounds and practicing all such manner of slave lore. After some years of mastering this education, they might receive reparations for the slavery that their ancestors endured, equivalent to today’s prevailing minimum wage. Top graduates may even be hired to oversee undergraduate study.

"Arbeit macht frei" ... "Work makes free" ... Nazi concentration camps ... I see the corollary
