Death Disclosure Laws and Property Disclosures in North Carolina. In North Carolina, there is no legal obligation for homeowners or real estate agents to disclose if a death has occurred in a home, whether by natural causes, murder, or suicide. However, if a potential buyer directly inquires about any deaths on the property, the seller is required to provide that information.

“[I]nvoking the favor and guidance of Almighty God,” the Constitution of the Confederate States of America composed by southern slaveholders in 1861 sought to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” The authors of Project 2025, the latest playbook for restructuring the federal government in order to accomplish the policy goals of Christian Nationalists, similarly declare their manifesto will “decide America’s future” by securing their “God-given individual rights to live freely” and exercise dominion over others.

Editor's note: This article was originally published on March 4, 2023. It has since been updated. Teaching is an extremely rewarding profession that basically shapes the future of the world. However, teachers are always expected to do more than what their job description requires them to do and they are often not treated fairly. A teacher was put in a sticky situation when a parent was almost an hour late picking up their child. This had happened many times with several teachers, so this school decided to charge unpunctual parents a $2 fee for every minute they are late, reported Bored Panda.
