Today is the day when NC State Leaders are to reply to the U.S. Justice Department which said a North Carolina law --HB2-- violates federal civil rights laws. The Obama Administration put North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory on notice that state officials must confirm by Monday (today) that they will not comply with or implement the law called House Bill 2 otherwise known as the Bathroom Bill. A letter from the Justice Department obtained by The Associated Press said the law violates Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, which bars discrimination in education based on sex. That could lead to North Carolina losing hundreds of millions of dollars in federal school funding.  Attorney General Roy Cooper, who is running on the Democratic ticket for Governor and who opposes HB2 said, "Enough is enough. It's time for the Governor to put our schools and economy first and work to repeal this devastating law."
