There are plenty of those in the rural county who would probably jump on being paid to, in essence, take their kid out of the private school system.

The difference is that 75% of the state don't need a reason as it is written, and 25% of them need a reason.

It could be a desire to suppress expression in rural school staff, but it is more likely that it's a poison pill. They'll look for a Republican who will be willing to play the role of one of those items listed and put them into the school to parade them as a means of getting rural schools to liquidize.

The reason they added this is two fold:
1) They believe rural areas will accept the bill because they have sold the elements in the bill as boogeymen to them and they'll think its good policy.

2) The sensationalism of the Trigger District section draws attention away from the fact that parents in rural districts are being discriminated against in a way that parents in urban districts are not.

The problem here is that if it's anything rural folks hate more than any of those things they listed to "trigger" them, it's a government man giving city people a leg up on country folk.
