North Carolina Democrat Governor Roy Cooper Declares “State of Emergency” to Oppose School Choice Bill
Governor Roy Cooper (D-NC) declared a “state of emergency” on Monday, aiming to prevent a school choice bill from passing the state legislature.
Senate Bill 406, also known as “Choose Your School, Choose Your Future,” is an initiative to make opportunity scholarships (also known as “vouchers”) available to families of all income levels. This would allow parents to use public school fund allocated for their children and use it to send them to a private school of their choosing.
The bill will also require public schools to allow students to graduate from high school in three years, instead of four.
“Today’s a great day for kids – and that’s what this bill is about,” said the lead sponsor of the bill, Sen. Michael Lee (R-New Hanover), at a press conference.
“Constituents continually support increased school choice and more access to educational options for families,” Amy Galey (R-Alamance), one of the bill’s principal sponsors, said in response to an email from WGHP. “Not every school is a good fit for every child, and when there is a disconnect, the parents should have options to be sure that their child is learning and growing appropriately.”
North Carolina’s Democrat Governor, Roy Cooper, announced a state of emergency on Monday in anticipation of an override of his veto of Senate Bill 406 by the state legislature.
“I’m declaring the state of emergency because you need to know what’s happening,” Cooper stated in a special address. “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.”
The Democrat governor argued that the bill would expand private school vouchers, potentially allowing even wealthy individuals to receive taxpayer funds for their children’s private academy tuition.
“In the next few weeks, their private school voucher scheme will pour your tax money into private schools that are unaccountable to the public and can decide which students they want to keep out. They want to expand private school vouchers so that anyone, even a millionaire, can get taxpayer money for their children’s private academy tuition,” he said.
Cooper failed to mention during his address that he sent his own children to a private school.

Roy Cooper is the former DA that tried to prosecute the Duke LaCrosse team with no evidence...Pat McCrory could have gotten his second term had he not ignored the voters over the I-77 toll lane debacle, (and the 90,000 last minute ballets found in Durham).
It is absolutely amazing that some people survive walking out of their homes...fo reelz!

Re: Anti-choice Democrat declares State of Emergency
If I remember correctly...on election night, McCrory was ahead and then they found 90k uncounted ballots in Durham, (very convenient and largely democrat voted) at the very literally last second. To compound that, McCrory allowed the I-77 toll road completion when no constituents wanted it and there were many questions surrounding that issue that NC allowed a Spanish Company to solicit and build toll roads when no American companies were invited to bid.
Go Figure...

Re: Anti-choice Democrat declares State of Emergency
Yes, go figure that densely populated areas take longer to count votes than rural areas and (surprise!) most of those voters lean democratically.
It's also North Carolina so they probably had to re-charge their abacus to count them all.

The problem is not that there is evil in the world, the problem is that there is good. Because otherwise, who would care?
