Hai guys
I don't spend much time here (the current affairs section) but I have noticed that a lot of you guys have very passionate good opinions on politics, so I was hoping to raise an issue I'm sure a lot of you have heard about.
As most probably know in the news, North Carolina (my home and current state) passed House Bill II, that, among other things, restricts the usage of restrooms to the sex listed on your birth certificate.
The Federal government has disagreed with this bill, and the policies it sets, and are currently trying to get North Carolina to repeal, or ignore, the bill. The Feds gave NC Government, and the University of North Carolina System (UNC) until Monday to denounce the bill and call it discriminatory.
While the UNC system agreed to do that, the Governor refused, and thus the Federal government is threatening/preparing to withhold education and transport funding from the state.
Thoughts? Do you think that the feds should damage the state in order to undo the bill? Do you think the bill is right? Other thoughts?
I'll voice my opinion later on if this gains some traction.
