House Bill 805 to enforced harsher penalties for rioters. House Bill 324 would have pro- tected students from discrimination in the classroom and teachers from discriminatory and radical training programs. House Speaker Tim Moore said, "Last year, I watched rioters cause enormous damage to down- town Raleigh while the Governor did nothing. Today's veto is another slap in the face to the small business owners and residents of cities and towns across this state that were damaged by lawless riots." "House Bill 805 is a commonsense bill that would have protected small businesses and individuals in the event that a protest became violent and focused solely on the perpetrators of violence rather than peaceful protestors. Every suggested change to improve the bill from the other side of the aisle was incorporated. Unfortunately, for this Governor pander- ing to the far left is more important than the rule of law." In response, Governor Cooper responded saying, "People who commit crimes during riots and at other times should be prosecuted and our laws provide for that, but this legislation is unnecessary and is in- tended to intimidate and deter people from exercising their constitutional rights to peacefully protest." Regarding HB 324, Moore stated, "The gover- nor also vetoed House Bill 324 today, which would have ensured that students of every race would be protected from discrimination in the classroom. I am disappointed that Governor Cooper would block leg- islation that simply protects students or teachers from being forced to accept the false idea that one race is superior or inferior to another." Governor Cooper said of his veto of HB 324, "The legislature should be focused on supporting teachers, helping students recover lost learning, and investing in our public schools. Instead, this bill pushes calcu- lated, conspiracy-laden politics into public education." Governor vetoes two bills
