North Carolina Still Thinks It Can Have An Official State Religion

North Carolina is considering a bill that says the following:

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.

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.

From here.

Eugene Volokh, reacting to the proposed legislation which is blatantly unconstitutional, is entirely too charitable in his assessment.

It is this kind of stunt that reminds the rest of us in the United States and in the world, that North Carolina is still full of backward, hateful, Unamerican monsters. We probably should have left the state under military rule for many more years during Reconstruction than we did, because they didn't get the message the first time in the Civil War and its aftermath.  Obviously, not all North Carolinians are in the wrong, but like so many other states in the South, there are too many of them with too much power.

Their culture is a disgrace.  It really should have been stamped out when we had the chance.  Now, it just slowly rots away our country's greatness and international moral stature, as it struggles mightily to make our nation mediocre and backward.
