Isn’t it funny how this kind of stuff works? Lots of moonbat Dems call for defunding the police, then hire private security or call for more police to protect themselves. Governors who sent their kids to expensive private schools are against the peasants having school choice
North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper declares ‘state of emergency’ over school choice bill
Democratic North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper declared a “state of emergency” on Monday in an attempt to stop a school choice bill from passing the state legislature.
Cooper released a video announcement where he declared a state of emergency, arguing that the state of public education is “no less important” than other emergencies.
“It’s time to declare a State of Emergency for public education in North Carolina. There’s no Executive Order like with a hurricane or the pandemic, but it’s no less important,” Cooper stated.
He continued, “It’s clear that the Republican legislature is aiming to choke the life out of public education. I’m declaring this 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.”
Funny, you’d think he would think about the children first, but, no, he cares more about the unions who donate to Democrats, regardless of whether they are doing their jobs or not.
You'll also be shocked to learn that Gov. Cooper sent his kids to a $28K per year private school in Raleigh, North Carolina.https://t.co/twkzZeebkK

Let’s check WRAL
Rep. Tricia Cotham of Mecklenburg County, whose recent party switch from Democrat to Republican gave the GOP veto-proof seat majorities in both chambers, dismissed Cooper’s speech as “political theater.”
“The true emergency here is that the governor is advocating for systems rather than students themselves,” Cotham said in a statement. “Education is not one-size-fits-all, and North Carolina families should have the freedom to determine what kind of education is best for them.”
I’m totally shocked that they failed to mention where Cooper sent his kids to school. CBS17? Nope. Nor at ABC11. Nor the News and Observer. Totally oversights, right?
