Unaccompanied children
flowing into our state
Free education included
State Rep. Jamie Boles (NC-52), who represents Moore County, is sounding an overdue alarm about undocumented alien children flowing into North Carolina, where they are eligible to enroll in public schools.
Through March and beginning last October, Boles says, 674 children are living across the state under a federal plan that alleges to unite them with "their parents, guardians or relatives (which is) the start of a process of finding a suitable sponsor."
The details are contained in a May 18 letter from Mandy Cohen, secretary of the state's Department of Health and Human Services.
Boles, speaking on May 22 during the Muster in the Sandhills, Part II rally, said he assumes the number (674) has risen in the past two months, and will continue to surge. More important than what is addressed in Cohen's letter is, perhaps, what is not addressed.
How can citizens be certain that an alien child will be paired with a "sponsor"? Who is considered an "appropriate sponsor"? Apart from emergency rooms, how do these children access health care?
More clarity was provided as to education. Quoting a federal website (Office of Refugee Resettlement), the letter specifies that these children "have a right -- just like other children living in their community -- to enroll in local schools regardless of their or their sponsors' actual or perceived immigration or citizenship status (emphasis added)."
In other words, they are coming to a classroom near you, having never been tested for the Wuhan virus or other infectious diseases or existing conditions. And North Carolina taxpayers are covering the cost.
Boles says the data would not be public knowledge if state Democrats had not been forced to respond to a request he submitted earlier this year.
Earlier this month, U.S. Congressman Richard Hudson (NC-8), who represents northern Moore County in Washington, confronted Health and Human Services Sec. Xavier Becerra during a hearing on Capitol Hill, asking if the Biden administration has reached out to Greensboro officials about housing as many as 800 children at a boarding school property in a residential neighborhood.
Becerra denied any knowledge of the plan, contradicting a Greensboro official who told The Washington Examiner that HHS conducted a site assessment at the American Hebrew Academy. The boarding school closed in 2019 due to financial troubles.

NC House Republicans
push return of 'work search'
North Carolina House Majority Leader John Bell has submitted a letter with 60 of his Republican colleagues calling on Governor Roy Cooper to reinstate unemployment work search requirements.
While the Governor’s March 1, 2021, executive order did reinstate this requirement for “new claimants,” it was not extended to all individuals currently receiving unemployment benefits.
“In our districts, we continue to hear from small business owners who are unable to fill new jobs,” the letter states. “We believe reinstating work search requirements is a common-sense step to help connect the unemployed with new job opportunities." Local Republican House members Jamie Boles and Allen McNeill were co-signers.

Locke Foundation watchdog:
69 Cooper executive orders
During a May 24 Locke Foundation seminar in Pinehurst, attendees were advised that NC Gov. Roy Cooper has issued 69 executive orders across 437 days during his Wuhan virus "state of emergency" and resulting lockdowns.
This represents an abuse of executive power unprecedented in the state's history.
In addition, Cooper has vetoed 13 bills passed by the Republican controlled General Assembly aimed at re-opening schools, businesses and gyms, to name a few.
"Roy Cooper has abused his authority and power," said Becki Gray, Senior VP of Government Affairs at Locke. "The question is, what power do we want any governor to have? It's not about Republicans and Democrats. What do we want the structure of our government to look like? We know we do not want the debiliating experience we've had in the past 14 months."

Defending education
Follow the money pouring
into NC for virus 'recovery'
It sounded so very generous when North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper announced May 24 he is allocating $51.4 million in federal funds (printed money) to "help students access and complete postsecondary education as the state recovers from the pandemic." Included are funds to address "equity" in educational outcomes in rural areas.
By way of translation, the Biden Administration and Gov. Cooper are merely acknowledging the damage that has been done by locking down school and forcing children to "learn remotely" since mid-2020. What is most disturbing about how this latest round of cash is dolled out is found under the category of mental health services, to which $5 million (10%) will be allocated.
This funding category appears to be an after-thought even though the Governor's press release notes that "8 in 10 (UNC System) students say their mental health has been negatively impacted by the pandemic." Read more.
Texas legislature bans
Critical Race Theory
The Texas Senate on May 22 passed legislation that would ban schools from requiring staff to discuss or teach critical race theory.
"Texans roundly reject the 'woke' philosophies that espouse that one race or sex is better than another and that someone, by virtue of their race or sex, is innately racist, oppressive or sexist," said Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick. Read more.
When will NC citizens follow this Georgia school district?
A divided Cherokee County (GA) School Board on May 20 voted to not adopt critical race theory as part of its curriculum, following a heated debate. The board voted four in favor and one in opposition to the resolution; two members abstained.
The public hearing was attended by about 400 parents and other county residents concerned about the teaching of the quasi-Marxist doctrine that has risen to new prominence. Read more.
