NC Governor declares ‘state of emergency’ over Republican-led school choice bill.
NC Governor Declares State of Emergency Over School Choice
Overview
Democratic Governor Roy Cooper of North Carolina has declared a state of emergency due to the GOP-led legislature’s proposed conservative measures, including school choice, which fights back against radical gender ideology and woke educational policies.
The State of Emergency
Cooper has urged North Carolinians to take immediate action and oppose the proposed bills. The GOP has a supermajority in the legislature, and Democrats view the use of legal authority to enact plans as an emergency that requires an official declaration.
School Choice
The North Carolina bill would expand private school vouchers by $400 million, allowing parents to send their children to the school that best fits their needs. Corey A. DeAngelis, a school choice advocate, called Cooper a hypocrite for sending his own child to a private school and opposing school choice.
Conclusion
The North Carolina GOP should wear Cooper’s declaration as a badge of honor, as any person or political body that threatens Democrats’ power is treated as an extreme danger that must be thwarted.
