  • A bill that would require the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance every morning at public schools;
  • A bill that would prevent North Carolina’s Attorney General from opposing presidential executive orders;
  • A bill that would eliminate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives from public education; and
