So once again I feel I need to write about North Carolina's HB2.

It pains me to say this, but now it looks like the education system is under fire due to the actions of the state government.

See this is an issue of civil rights and what takes place in this state will set the precedent on which history will follow. So in a defiant way to show the rest of the country that it has done no wrong, Good Ole' Pat McCrory, decided that he and his cronies were going to file a lawsuit against the US Department of Justice.

In turn, the DOJ has also filed a suit against North Carolina in order to try to get the law suspended until a ruling has been made.

See the whole thing is starting to boil down to what is known as Title IX.

Title IX states that: "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance."

There just so happens to be one program that receives millions of federal funding: The University of North Carolina.

I just love these little political cartoons.

Thankfully as a result of the the DOJ lawsuit, Margaret Spellings, current president of the UNC system, has started to feel the pressure the DOJ is putting on the state. If HB2 is found to be violating Title IX, then the federal government has the ability to pull about $1.4 billion in federal funding, this includes the over $800 million in federal student loans. So as a result of this discriminatory bill, thousands of students across 17 campuses may suddenly find it a whole lot harder to pay for school. It seems that all Spelling has to do is go against the state and tell the DOJ that the UNC system will comply with the federal mandate. Is she worried about what the state will do? It's not like the state actually cares about education.

I mean really, these things are just so clever!

Here's some statistics that were in the May 14, 2016 edition of the News and Observer.

48: The percentage decrease in what North Carolina allocates for school textbooks between 2008 and 2015.

49: The percentage decline in allocations for instructional supplies.

26.6: The percentage decline in enrollment in schools of education at public universities in North Carolina between 2010 and 2014.

North Carolina has been ranked 37th in overall school system and 47th in education spending. So I guess if the UNC system goes against the state then we'll have to bump the state spending down to 49th maybe even 50th. Maybe at that point we can start funding the bathroom police to go around and drag people out of the stalls mid-poop.

We can start paying for frackers to come into the state and destroy the landscape and environment. We can pay off all of the families who are about to start suffering from all of the coal ash dumps that Duke Energy pinky swears are safe.

Lastly, we can all buy sweet tea and biscuits as the state crumbles around us because we voted bigots into office.
