Rick! I think we're fairly describing a bill that people have different and strong opinions on.

I do not agree Tony. Talk to religious leaders and the parents who attend church on a weekly basis. Only a small, vocal minority advocate the elimination of parental control of their children.

FYI new polling says NC residents favor it 57-24. (I would argue the question is framed in a way to elicit more people in favor.) Democrats will overwhelmingly vote against it, and if it passes, the governor will veto it. I don't think we are editorializing to say it is controversial. https://mcusercontent.com/259a50ef0a1608ab2bc2cf891/files/84ac9bbd-e72f-7b0b-ddf3-122d843a53f5/19588_JLF_NC_Toplines.pdf
