DEMOCRAT GOVERNOR OF NORTH CAROLINA DECLARES "STATE OF EMERGENCY" TO THWART VOTE ON EDUCATION REFORM

He's literally suspending democracy -- claiming the power to send the legislature home -- to stop a vote the Teachers Unions and the Democrat Party establishment oppose.

So he's effectively claiming that he can unilaterally cancel the legislature, at his whim.

The bill concerns vouchers -- giving parents vouchers to choose what schools they will send their children to. Freeing children from the slavery imposed on them by the teachers unions, who view children only as State-Owned Wheat to be reaped and ground into bread for teachers' salaries.

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."

Cooper's announcement drew intense backlash on Twitter as an overreach of government power.

The Blaze columnist Auron MacIntyre wrote, "Executive governing in the permanent state of exception to save democracy."

"Neutering the abuse of emergency power by the executive branch should be priority number 1 for every state," Conservative account "PoliMath" tweeted.

School choice advocate Corey DeAngelis wrote, "they're losing control over the minds of other people's children. good. cry harder, @RoyCooperNC."

He says that the "emergency" is that giving kids the ability to go to charter schools, with a state-provided voucher, reduces funding for "public" schools, which are not public at all -- they're owned-and-operated union "schools."

But of course if 35-50% of students abandon these union schools -- which they no doubt will -- why on earth would the union schools require the current funding levels, now with 35%-50% fewer students?!

This is about keeping children in control of leftwing government bureaucrats -- against the wishes of their parents, of course.

Cooper has been criticized for opposing private school vouchers while sending his daughter to a private school in Raleigh. He has also attempted to end the state's Opportunity Scholarship Program which provides vouchers to lower and middle-income students.

Montec says that seven of the 20 Democrats in the Senate are defecting to vote in favor of this bill. Republicans already enjoy a veto-proof majority -- so Roy Cooper just declares that democracy is suspended, until the legislature stops attempting to pass a law his union backers support.

Incredible. Incredible.

This is the real insurrection: The insurrection from the top.

IMPEACH THIS ANTI-DEMOCRATIC FASCIST.

And I had to be told about this story by a commenter! Obviously the leftwing Fascist Press is covering up for their Regime operative, as usual.

Cooper, by the way, kept children out of school longer than almost any other state not called "Michigan," "California," or "New York."

But he loves education!

Cooper must have learned to love ridiculously scary rhetoric. He maintained the COVID state of emergency for 2 1/2 years, which is a long time to enjoy being an unchecked demagogic tyrant. Apparently, he longs to repeat his glory days.

Make sure you thank Jonah Goldberg, David French, and AllahPundit for sparing the country of the corruption and "authoritarianism" of Trump.

The grossly fat Jonah, the author of Liberal Fascism (sort of), needs to be reminded that liberals can often descend into fascism. I think he's forgotten!
