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.
