Governor Vetoes Senate Bill 37

Latest Polls (view all)

In the shadow of the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, founder of Turning USA, a stain now exists upon our nation's collective conscious, a condition that must be excised, or our nation will not function properly as one of a self-governed people. Understanding these long standing truths: What would you suggest as a quick, and, or proper corrective measure?

20% Destroy the Fascist Donald Trump and all of MAGA, because America must never be Great Again.

80% Our self-governed people, and their properly restored institutions, under President Trump, must discover the root causes to properly correct, and save our Constitutional Republic.

0% I thought we had to shut down Free Speech we don't like to save our "democracy," so I am totally confused now.

Press Release:

RALEIGH: Today, Governor Roy Cooper vetoed the following bill:

Senate Bill 37: In-Person Learning Choice for Families

    Governor Cooper shared the following statement on SB 37:

    "Students learn best in the classroom and I have strongly urged all schools to open safely to in-person instruction and the vast majority of local school systems have done just that.

    However, Senate Bill 37 falls short in two critical areas. First, it allows students in middle and high school to go back into the classroom in violation of NC Department of Health and Human Services and CDC health guidelines. Second, it hinders local and state officials from protecting students and teachers during an emergency.

    As I have informed the Legislature, I would sign the bill if these two problems are fixed.

    As written, the bill threatens public health just as North Carolina strives to emerge from the pandemic. Therefore, I veto the bill."

After almost a year of many schools being closed, the Democratic Socialist Central Committee has expressed that it does not want schools to open any time soon, so North Carolina's Democratic Socialist Governor obliges.

Good boy.
