State Of Emergency In North Carolina
State Of Emergency In North Carolina
Democratic North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper declared a “state of emergency” on Monday in an attempt to stop the state legislature from passing a school choice bill.
Odd, he doesn't want the citizens of North Carolina to be able to send THEIR children to private schools and academies, but that's exactly where he sent his.
I guess he doesn't want his kids to have to mingle with the hoi polloi.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

They can’t send them there now? The children will be mowed down by drones with machine guns you say? Do tell.Bryce wrote: ↑Wed May 24, 2023 8:02 am

“School choice” is a bit of a joke. Some of those “academies” use non-certified instructors and produce results no better or well below the local district. Then there is the issue of whether to allow vouchers for religious schools.
Re: State Of Emergency In North Carolina
It's not "government money" that'd be allowed for religious schools... it's TAXPAYER money and those TAXPAYERS should be able to spend it on whatever education they deem appropriate for THEIR kids.
Re: State Of Emergency In North Carolina
Where you stand on the issue of school choice isn't the issue here. The issue is that this governor would get along with Governor Whitmer just great. Using a "state of emergency" to try to defeat veto-proof legislation is such a massive abuse of power that he should be hauled out of his office by security guards and replaced by the next-in-command, IMO.
Re: State Of Emergency In North Carolina
Declaring a State Of Emergency is way over the top. I view it as a scare tactic they way he portrayed it. We have had it for years and no public schools have suffered. Ours goes so far as to allow parents to enroll students in another public school system as long as there is room and the parent provides transportation. Seems to be working fine.
Re: State Of Emergency In North Carolina
Or he doesn't want public dollars going to fraud. Over 1 Billion dollars have been stolen by Charter school organizations. Google "charter school fraud" and 8 pages of criminal activities come up. Two of the five here in our area have convicted leadership.
Here's an example:
SAN DIEGO — Two men accused of crafting an elaborate statewide charter school scheme to funnel tens of millions of public school dollars into their own pockets pleaded guilty this week to felony conspiracy charges.
Sean McManus and Jason Schrock, creators of the now-defunct A3 charter school network, each pleaded guilty in San Diego County Superior Court on Friday to one count of conspiracy to commit theft of public funds. A3 Charter Schools operated 19 online-only charter schools across California.
In addition, McManus pleaded guilty to another count of conspiracy to commit theft of public funds, and Schrock pleaded guilty to conflict of interest.

The emergency declaration is excessive, but he represents a majority of the citizens in NC by the nature of his being voted into office.

False. The State legislature represents the people and they have a supermajority to overturn the veto.

False, he represents a majority of voters, just because NC is the most gerrymandered state in the nation does not mean that Republicans out number Democrat voters.

Re: State Of Emergency In North Carolina
The mental gymnastics that you engage in on a daily basis in here to defend one particular political party is tiring. "The emergency declaration is excessive." Your comment could have ended there. But you couldn't help yourself.
Re: State Of Emergency In North Carolina
So was DeSantis, but that doesn't mean all his decisions are wise and should be put into law.
The censorship king from out of state.
Re: State Of Emergency In North Carolina
No, because NC is so corruptly districted, a significant minority is making decisions for an entire state. You cry all the time, I am merely pointing out that this is the only tool the Governor has to respond to the GOP's actions.

Re: State Of Emergency In North Carolina
Sounds like you're the one "crying" - in this instance, about unfair district boundaries. In your words, I guess this makes the Governor a "victim"?
And your conclusion is incorrect. The tool the governor has to respond to the GOP's actions is a veto. If they override his veto, then TOUGH SHIT. The stunt he's pulling is the kind of thing that happens in third-world countries, NOT a country that operates under rule of law and separation of powers.
