The Bill

Section 1. The North Carolina General Assembly asserts that the Constitution of the United States of America does not prohibit states or their subsidiaries from making laws respecting an establishment of religion.

Section 2. The North Carolina General Assembly does not recognize federal court rulings which prohibit and otherwise regulate the State of North Carolina, its public schools, or any political subdivisions of the State from making laws respecting an establishment of religion.


When the Republican party says they are for small government with more state power, I have gotten the impression this is what they mean.

I also have to wonder how these same people would react if a similar bill was proposed but eliminating the 2nd Amendment.

Your thoughts?
