For Real? North Carolina Gov. Declares ‘State Of Emergency’ Because Republican-Led School Choice Is About To Pass | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Democratic Governor Roy Cooper (NC) has declared a "State of Emergency" because the GOP-led legislature is about to pass school choice amongst other conservative measures that fight back against radical gender ideology and woke educational policies.

    What exactly does a "state of emergency" over public education entail? It's unclear, but Cooper thought it enough of a crisis to give a press conference and run this banner across governor.nc.gov:

    "It's clear that the Republican legislature is aiming to choke the life out of public education. I'm declaring this a state of emergency because you need to know what's happening. If you care about public schools in North Carolina, it's time to take immediate action and tell them to stop the damage that will set back our schools for a generation," Cooper said in a press release.

    Last week, the North Carolina bill passed a bill that would expand private school vouchers by $400 million, according to WRAL News.

    As explained by bill sponsor Representative Tricia Cotham (R-Mecklenberg), all this bill would do is allow parents to send a child to the school that best fits their needs.

    "Maybe a kid says they hate school," Cotham told WRAL. "It's just not the place, maybe the school is too large, maybe it's the type of curriculum, maybe they have dyslexia and need another location for them. So this would give families, parents, the opportunity because they know their child the best to say where their child should go to school."

    Many states have similar voucher programs - and a big advocate of those programs is Corey A. DeAngelis.

    DeAngelis often proclaims, "Fund students, not systems."

    On Monday, DeAngelis called Cooper a "hypocrite."

    "This hypocrite sent his own kid to a private school," he tweeted. "We're freeing families from the clutches of the teachers unions once and for all & there's nothing he can do about it."

    "We now have a Democrat Governor declaring school choice a 'State of Emergency,'" DeAngelis said. "They're losing control over the minds of other people's children and they can't handle it. Good. Cry harder, @RoyCooperNC"

    DeAngelis seemed confident that school choice would pass - even in spite of Cooper.

    "North Carolina families will get school choice this year and there's nothing their hypocrite Governor can do about it," he tweeted.

    For his part, Cooper's plan to block the legislation includes encouraging North Carolinians to call their representatives to oppose a slew of proposed bills.

    The GOP has a supermajority in the legislature of North Carolina. So, to Democrats, GOP officials using legal authority to enact plans that their voters sent them to the office to enact constitutes an "emergency" that requires an official declaration.

    That sums it all up. Any person, political body, or media outlet that threatens Democrats' power is treated as an extreme danger that must be thwarted. The North Carolina GOP should wear this declaration as a badge of honor.

Considering the irrefutable fact that the Left /the Democratic Socialists, beginning in March of 2020, employed the repetitive use of the Covid Pandemic as a political cudgel to wrest a presidential election, where their candidate rarely left his basement, from a frightened and beaten down citizenry of this Representative Republic: What does your knowledge NOW, in hindsight, aid in your understanding of the motives of the Authoritarian Left?

  The "Left" cares about all Democratics, so it was imperative that we do whatever it took to elect a lifelong politician to become that Democratic Socialist to forever change US.

  Pandemics are serious business, where our leaders must use wisdom and practicable efforts of all that serve to protect the public from not only the pandemic, but these ignoble usurpers of the Left.

  I lost almost everything in the Covid Pandemic, and I want justice; a justice where only the truth prevails, and the rampant fraud that is now legend is remedied.
