Whereas Governor CDocwra has continued attacks on the private educational institution,

Whereas under the CDocwra administration continued disregard for the constitutional rights of the Chesapeake people have persisted,

Whereas the government on all levels must protect the rights of the people not trample on them, and

Whereas The Governor and his administration have continued to push a policy that walks a fine line between Constitutionality.

(1) This resolution may be known as the Condemnation of Governor CDocwra.

(2) It may be abbreviated as the CGC Resolution.

(3) This Assembly of the Commonwealth of the Chesapeake finds the following;

the Governor of the commonwealth, CDocwra, both wrote and sponsored B. 366, the Education Liberalization Act which sought to ban all private school education in the Commonwealth;

the Governor of the commonwealth both wrote and sponsored R. 020, the District of Columbia - Chesapeake Commonwealth Unification Resolution which seeks to incorporate the federal capital into the commonwealth, and,

the Governor of the commonwealth co-authored B. 374, the Better Education in Chesapeake Act which once again sought to ban private education within the borders of the commonwealth.

according to a [finding by the National Center for Education Statistics] (https://nces.ed.gov/pubs97/97983.pdf)

(a) Parents who exercise some choice over where their children who go to school tend to be more satisfied than those who do not.

(b) Average class size is larger in public schools.

(c) In a number of school policy areas, private school teachers and principals are more likely than their public school counterparts to believe that they have a great deal of influence.

(d) Exposure to crime or threats is far more common in public schools.

(e) Private school teachers share a greater sense of community within their schools.

(f) Private high schools appear to have more rigorous academic programs.

SECTION II: RESOLUTION

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE ASSEMBLY OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF THE CHESAPEAKE THAT…

(1) The Assembly of the Commonwealth of the Chesapeake commends the Governor of the Commonwealth of the Chesapeake, CDocwra, and his administration for their unconstitutional behavior throughout their tenure.

(2) The Assembly of the Commonwealth of the Chesapeake commends the legislation hitherto mentioned in this resolution and recommends the Governor to stop such unconstitutional behavior, if the Governor fails to cease such actions then further action by the assembly will be taken.

(3) The Assembly of the Commonwealth of the Chesapeake upholds the right of the people peaceably to assemble, which includes the right of the people to assemble for private schooling.

(4) The Assembly stands by the right of the people to send their children to private institutions and the right to choose their education and of their children. The freedom to choose is what makes us, America, who we are, and we can not force our children to attend the broken school system, we must solve the problem at its root, not ban its effect, this is clearly not the solution.
