Whenever the progressives/liberals lose a legislative battle, they always go to the courts. North Carolina’s General Assembly overrode Gov. Beverly Perdue’s veto on their state budget. Now, they are saying the proposed cuts to education are unconstitutional:
CHARLOTTE, NC (WBTV) - State Superior Court Judge Howard Manning wants to dig into the North Carolina Constitution. He wants to know if proposed cuts to education are unconstitutional.
North Carolina's constitution states every child is guaranteed the right to a sound basic education. The fear is slashing the education budget would interfere with that. The first reading of the Senate's version of the budget has chopped $1 billion away from education. Lawmakers blame their decisions on the economy, but Manning says that shouldn't matter.
"The current financial difficulties of the State do not relieve, justify or excuse," Manning said. "The State of North Carolina from its constitutional obligation to provide each and every child in North Carolina an equal opportunity to obtain a sound basic education."
And what is a sound basic education? And what does a sound basic education cost? And do the taxpayers have a say as to how much they are willing to pay?
According to the omniscient Judge Howard Manning, only he and the courts are qualified to make that determination. Hell, why don’t we get rid of all our elected representatives. What is the sense in having them, when we have superior human beings like Judge Howard Manning to rule over us.
