North Carolina school board adopts policies in defiance of state law on Parents’ Bill of Rights

A North Carolina school board adopted new policies on Thursday that members acknowledge may not comply with a Parents’ Bill of Rights approved by lawmakers in August.

The Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools Board of Education cast the first of two votes to approve a series of policy changes that neglect to address specific aspects of the 2023 law regarding notification to parents of student pronoun changes and restrictions on discussions about gender identity and sexuality in kindergarten through fourth grade.

The vote Thursday came nearly three weeks after a legislative deadline of Jan. 1 for schools to implement provisions of the new law.

In published reports, Board Chairman George Griffin described the law Thursday as “morally wrong” and vowed to “stand up for what’s right” despite the potential legal ramifications of ignoring its requirements.

Nothing reveals the Gullibility & Shallowness & Ignorance of American Conservatives more than that they thought the “Parents’ Bill of Rights” was a good idea.
For starters: (1) Rights come from God, not State Legislatures.
(2) It is the powers of the Government which are enumerated – not OUR Rights!
By passing & supporting the poisonous “Parents’ Bill of Rights”, Americans repudiated those two Fundamental Principles.
Now, they scramble for their “rights” from the government.

Government and “law” is not the arbiter of what’s moral. That’s what God’s law is for.

Government at every level is no longer by the people, for the people, of the people. Deciding how children should be raised is not for some elected, appointed or self proclaimed tyrant to decide. This is what parenting is. It’s too bad that people don’t consider God’s law FIRST.
public school and every other institution that is dictated by government is corrupted beyond redemption.

I can’t even comprehend this negotiating or suing child abusers and groomers creating more narcissists and broken future adults. If they make it that far.

What did you expect from Chapel Hill? Remember the infamous words of Jesse Helms (God rest his soul),” we don’t need an NC zoo, put a fence around Chapel Hill.”

This school board is nothing more than a fart in the bucket. Pay them no mind. Just be sure to notify them to lay off you child. Seriously. Best to do it in a group letter. They want to collude with your child.
