CHAPEL HILL SHOOTING
Death penalty
on the table
in Chapel Hill
shooting trial
Tuesday, April 7, 2015
A GOLD STANDARD
Craig Hicks had a pre-trial

hearing in Durham on Monday.
By Zoe Schaver
Assistant City Editor
A Durham County superior court judge

ruled Monday that Craig Hicks, charged
with three counts of first-degree murder in
the Feb. 10 shooting at Chapel Hills Finley
Forest apartment complex, is eligible to be
tried for capital punishment.
Judge Orlando Hudson Jr., ruled during
a pre-trial hearing that Hicks is qualified
for the death penalty because the state
of North Carolina has found at least two
aggravating factors were
present in the shooting
deaths of Deah Barakat,
Yusor Abu-Salha and
Razan Abu-Salha.
The state has established the existence of
at least two statutory
aggravating factors: one,
that this crime was com- Craig Hicks was

dant engaged in other
crimes of violence at the connection with the
February shootings.
time of this murder,
Hudson said.
Assistant District Attorney James
Dornfried said much of the investigation by
local and federal agencies surrounding the
Chapel Hill shooting has been completed.
There are a few more discoveries that
need to be turned over, he said.
Those discoveries include medical
examiners reports for Hicks, the forensic
extraction from Hicks computer hard
drive and additional information from the
federal investigation of the shooting, which
requires a court order, he said.
Dornfried listed forensic evidence linking Hicks to the crime, including DNA
evidence showing the blood of Yusor AbuSalha on Hicks pants, gunshot residue on
Hicks pants and shirt and a ballistic match
from shell casings found at the scene to
a firearm that was recovered from Hicks

Micheline Amisi crowned Miss Black and Gold 2015-16

By Gwendolyn Smith
Staff Writer
On Monday night in the Miss Black and

Gold Pageant, freshman Micheline Amisi was
asked what advice she would give her 13-yearold self. Her response: Hold your head high,
girl. Gods got you.
Amisi was crowned Miss Black and Gold
2015-16 in the lively Student Union auditorium. The crowd erupted in applause as she
stepped forward to receive her crown and
sash, waving to friends and beaming with
pride.
After three months of preparation and
rehearsals, Amisi and four other female students competed in the pageant hosted annually by UNCs chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha
Fraternity, Inc.
The evening consisted of a talent portion,
swimsuit show, evening gown show and interview section. The contestants were judged on
their appearance and poise, their GPA and an
interview with judges before the event.
Unlike other contestants, Amisi, a Gates

Millennium scholar, isnt new to the pageant
world.
Ive been in pageants in the past, and I
thought I was finished, she said. But Michael
(Morrison) is very convincing.
Morrison, a junior public relations major,
served as one of the co-directors of this years
pageant. He encouraged Amisi to apply for
the pageant because of her personality, he
said.
Shes very charismatic and energetic, he
said. She provides the energy that we knew
would be good for other girls to see.
For Alpha Phi Alpha member Garrett
Holloway, the talent portion is his favorite
part.
Its because a lot of people are really talented in very different ways, he said. Its
great to see people go on stage and do what
they love.
The Miss Black and Gold Pageant is about
more than just showing talent. Over the
three-month process, Holloway said he has
seen the contestants become more comfortable with themselves.

Each of the young women has evolved, and
its been incredible, he said. It gives them a
stronger sense of self confidence and you can
appreciate their beauty.
Amisi sported her beauty and talent in
Monday nights pageant as she strutted across
the stage in a peach bikini and beige wedges
to Beyonces Freakum Dress and recited
Maya Angelous Phenomenal Woman in traditional Congalese attire.
Her confidence on stage was the product of
regular practices and support from family and
friends.
I didnt really know the atmosphere or
the vibe coming into it, Amisi said. But Im
so close with everyone from the collaborative
effort.
The collaborative effort and forming of
relationships is why the members of Alpha
Phi Alpha and past contestants enjoy working

Student Body President

Andrew Powell will step down
today to be replaced by Houston
Summers after an eventful year.
Its been a long year a good
one overall. It was a tumultuous
time for UNC in a lot of ways,
but looking back on what the student body has done, Im proud
of how student government has
helped support and move things
forward, said Student Body Vice
President Kyle Villemain, who
worked closely with Powell on his
initiatives throughout the year.
Powell said the most difficult
aspect of his job was prioritizing.
I think the biggest limitation we faced was that as soon
as the school year started, I
felt like we were going from
one emergency to the next,
and there are so many different things, from the Wainstein
report to the review of centers
and institutes to just, you know,
were getting sued by a million
different people all at once,
Powell said.
But he and Villemain both
agreed the killing of UNC student Deah Barakat; his wife,
Yusor Abu-Salha; and her sister,
Razan Abu-Salha was the hardest thing they dealt with all year.
It was simply heartbreaking,
inexplicable but while that
was the toughest time, I think it

be at Carolina and to be a part

of the student body and this
community that cares so much,
Powell said.
He said his administration
made significant progress on his
platform of education innovation
and classroom environment.
We have worked to make sure
that active learning is on top of
Carolinas agenda, and I think
that will manifest itself largely in
this Quality Enhancement Plan
were working on, he said.
Winston Howes, one of
Powells opponents in the 2014
race, said he thinks the Powell
administration was able to begin
making progress on Powells plat-
form despite all the years crises.

I think they came in at a
tough spot you have the athletic-academic scandal unfolding coming in, and they started
out strong in terms of reorganizing student government and
laying the groundwork for what
they were trying to do, he said.
Howes said the restructuring
of student government at the
beginning of Powells administration was not as successful as
many thought.
I think one of the hopes was
that by restructuring student
government which they did
they would be able to cut out
a lot of the bureaucracy and just
move more efficiently, Howes

said. But I havent gotten the
sense of that being the case.
As Summers prepares to take
his position, Powell said he has
warned him about the personal
toll the job can take.
But through it all, remember
who you are and where you came
from and the values you have,
and try to serve the best that you
can regardless of whether you
feel that people are unfairly criticizing or unfairly complimenting
you just dont let it get to your
head, and keep doing what you
think is right, he said.

The heart of the religious exemptions debate is

a clash between two fundamental rights: religious
freedom and civil equality.
While Indiana continues to deal with widespread backlash over its Religious Freedom
Restoration Act, the N.C. General Assembly is
examining similar issues.
The state currently has laws allowing doctors
to opt out of performing abortions and allowing
parents to not vaccinate their children if they claim
legitimate religious exemptions and lawmakers
are considering a bill exempting some magistrates
from performing same-sex marriages, as well as a
bill modeled off of the controversial Indiana statute.
Both measures are currently stalled in committee.
Indianas original law afforded business owners the right to refuse service on religious grounds,
which critics said could allow business owners to
discriminate against same-sex couples. Indiana Gov.
Mike Pence has since signed a revised version that
prohibits discrimination against same-sex couples.
We consider both bills a direct affront to the
civil rights of the LGBT community in North
Carolina, and we support their rights to be productive members of society, said Chris Sgro,
executive director of Equality N.C.
He said North Carolinas religious freedom bill
would promote discrimination against same-sex
couples and reflected an attempt to circumvent
the legalization of same-sex marriage in the state.
There is a small but vocal minority that is trying to subvert the courts ruling in favor of marriage equality, he said.

I feel bad for you, son
From staff and wire reports
hat started out as a sweet

story about a girlfriend visiting
her boyfriend in the hospital
quickly turned into a nightmare. A man in China was taken to the hospital
after a car accident, and his girlfriend came to
visit him in the hospital but there was one
problem. Well, there were 17 problems to be exact. The man was dating 17 women, and they all
came to his hospital room. None of them knew
about each other. Not a smooth move, though it
appears karma was certainly at work.

Pistorius judge reects on her advocacy

The South African judge
spoke at a UNC School of
Law event on Monday.
By Carly Berkenblit
Staff Writer
The judge who sentenced

Olympic runner Oscar Pistorius to
five years in prison for killing his
girlfriend spoke about her time as an
activist during Apartheid in South
Africa at the UNC School of Law
Monday.
Judge Thokozile Masipa delivered the 2015 William P. Murphy
Distinguished Lecture.
Masipa is a judge at the
Johannesburg Division for the
Gauteng High Court in South Africa,
who gained notoriety after presiding
over the Pistorius trial.
Before being appointed to the
bench, Masipa was an Apartheid
activist and a crime reporter for
World, a black newspaper.
She said her time as a journalist
allowed her to fight the system.

Masipa investigated crime in
Apartheid-stricken South Africa; a
time when she said segregation was
the norm.
Journalists at the time would
report on the crime going on that
the police were ignoring. According
to Masipa, there were many reports
of men, women and children simply
disappearing overnight.
At the stroke of a pen, we journalists were able to expose the mischief of the government, Masipa
said.
Due to the activist nature of the
journalists, the police made it their
business to intimidate them.
Police would arrest any journalists that protested and showed
resistance to their authority. Masipa
was one of the journalists who was
arrested while protesting.
I was ultimately convicted
and had to pay a fine before being
released, she said. (But) who knew
that in just over 20 years I would be
presiding as a high court judge?
But Masipas road to the bench
was not easy.

In 10 years, she completed her
law degree, at the same time she
was a working mother and wife.
She then practiced for seven years,
before being appointed to the bench
in 1998.
Seven years is nothingyou dont
get a lot of experience, she said.
And I know I needed to work harder
than my colleagues.
Her hard work paid off.
In 2014, she was assigned the
high profile Pistorius trial, where
she ultimately delivered the formal
verdict, charging him with culpable
homicide.
I never heard of her before the
Oscar Pistorius trial, said UNC law
student Robert Sparks. It was interesting reading her bio.
UNC law student Molly Harris
studied abroad in South Africa.
I had heard about her before her
major trials, Harris said.
Masipas newfound notoriety
gives her the chance to make a difference in a society where she feels
being free is everything.

Proposed changes to the development process in the Northside

neighborhood might lower the
financial burden of building there.
Chapel Hills planning and sustainability commission presented
their proposal at a public information meeting Monday.
In 2004, Northside became the
first neighborhood conservation
district in Chapel Hill.
This designation limits the size
of new homes, bans most new
duplexes in the community and sets
other provisions in place in order to
encourage responsible development.

for the towns planning and sustainability commission, said the pro-

smaller houses, Bell said. If you

want to build a larger house, there
are plenty of places in this town
where you can, but Northside is not
one of them.
Keith Edwards, a longtime
Northside resident, said these regulations were put in place to combat
greedy property owners.
Its unbelievable now that
people can come in just to make a
profit, Edwards said.
Edwards said its about survival for minority families living in
Northside.
I want to be able to survive in
this neighborhood, and I dont want
to feel like I am being run over by
greedy people.
Students and designers in UNCs

Fine Arts program have been tasked
with creating some of the notable
costumes and props that will be featured in the new Museum of Science
Fiction, set to open in Washington,
D.C. in two to three years.
The museum is the first to focus
on the history of science fiction and
the genres relationship with the real
world.
Steve Dreyer, who is in charge of
model construction for the museum,
contacted Rachel Pollock, costume
crafts artisan for UNCs costume
production program, to ask if the
department could help with the
project.
He was interested in if he could
coordinate some of the exhibition
work with Carolina businesses and
schools, Pollock said. Their mission is to get students involved in all
aspects of the museum.
Students in the costume production program will create a replica of a
costume from the 1984 movie Dune,
along with a matching weapon.
Weve gotten a couple of costumes that theyve inquired about
whether or not we can make them
and, of course, we can, Pollock said.
Andrea Bullock, props master for
PlayMakers Repertory Company, said
this exciting opportunity for students
and staff differs from their usual work.
The big difference about it is
Im recreating something that has
already existed in a show or in a
movie, where, for the most part, for
PlayMakers, we do things that are
interesting and new, Bullock said.
Though it varies from their usual
work, Bullock said both students
and faculty are eager to participate.
It is a very unique opportunity,
and it is not an opportunity that
comes around every day. So everybody is really wiling to work on this,
is ready to go and wants to make
this happen, Bullock said.
Jennifer Guadagno, assistant
costume director at PlayMakers
Repertory Company, said she is
excited that students will get the
opportunity to show their skills as
part of a unique collaboration.
I think its an incredible experience to be able to participate using
your craft and the skill set we teach
them, with a broader stroke not
just in theater, not just in film but
sort of related to that in a museum
that will become very interactive.
Though much of their focus is
now on the production of the pieces,
Bullock emphasized that it is important to remember all the hard work
that went into the project long after
the replicas are finished.
There is a lot of work but also a
lot of artistry in what we do, Bullock
said of her team. Even though we
may not be the original ones that
come up with the design, theres a lot
of artistry, a lot of skill and a lot of
talent that goes behind it.
The programs costumes and
props will be featured as part of a
preview exhibit that will premiere
around August 2016 and will also be
used in the museum as a permanent
display.

UNCs violence prevention coordinator Kelli Raker said education
is incredibly important to prevent
violence.
Education can help create a culture where violence is not tolerated
and ultimately help prevent sexual
and interpersonal violence in our
community, she said in an email.

Frumkin said they wanted
work with the Greek system and
athletic community as well. She
emphasized the importance of not
telling these groups what to do and
allowing them to support Project
Dinahs message from within their
own organizations. She also noted
the work the Greek system has
done this year in addressing interpersonal violence.
(We want them to) create that
environment where theyre holding

each other accountable rather than
feeling like our activist community is
holding them accountable, she said.
Frumkin said gender roles and
power dynamics can play into these
situations of interpersonal violence.
I think in the college community
and the dating bracket were in, a lot
of this is normalized thats just a
guy being a guy or not a big deal.
Plan could make Northside development easier

The proposal includes
cheaper fees and allows
for bigger homes.
They will design costumes

for the new Museum of
Science Fiction.
By Katie Reeder
One assault is one too many for
Maddy Frumkin and Project Dinah.
Citing a Department of Justicefunded report on campus sexual
assault, Frumkin noted that one in
five women will be sexually assaulted during their time in college.
So just doing the math, we know
theres a lot of women at Carolina,
she said. So thats a lot of women,
and even one is too many.
Allies against interpersonal
violence are coming together this
week for Project Dinahs Alliance
Against Violence week.
The week will consist of a
range of events that culminate
with Fridays Beyonc-themed
benefit concert at Local 506 for
the Orange County Rape Crisis
Center. Students who complete the
necessary quiz will earn a T-shirt
they can wear on Friday to identify
themselves as allies.
T-shirts are something that
people wear, said Frumkin, Project
Dinah co-chairwoman. Its not like
a button or a wristband that maybe
you pick up and never touch again,
but people wear T-shirts, and we see
them around campus every day.
Anne Zhou, Project Dinahs
other co-chairwoman, said educating people about interpersonal violence and raising awareness is just
one of this weeks goals.
The second part of it is to create an environment on Friday
especially, when everyone is wearing their shirts where survivors
at UNC understand that they are
in a community that supports
them, Zhou said. And its a solidarity act to make them feel safer.
Zhou said Project Dinah seeks
to raise awareness for all forms of
interpersonal violence through advocacy, education and empowerment.
These forms of violence include
stalking, rape, sexual harassment
and relationship violence.
As the organization grows, Zhou
said part of its focus is working to
leged to be a part of the high court

system.
Equality is real, she said. The
government can be taken to court
and lose, that is possible today.
posed revisions
would aim to
make the proNorthside
neighborhood
cess simpler.
If anybody has gone
through the
review process
in Northside, you know that it is a
lengthy and fairly costly process,
Johnson said. Were trying to be
sensitive to that.
Currently, residents must go
through two application processes
and pay fees close to $600 in order
to have their additions reviewed by
town staff.
What were proposing is that
you would submit just one application to us, which would only be
reviewed by our community design
commission, Johnson said. They
would then give you comments, and
then the town staff would review
that application, and you would end
up with your decision.
Johnson said the commission
is proposing to lower the review
FOR
RENT
I want to be able to survive in this neighborhood,

and I dont want to feel like I am being run over
Keith Edwards,
longtime Northside resident
process fee to $340 for an addition

of 600 square feet or greater and to
$240 for additions of less than 600
square feet.
Another proposed revision deals
with the maximum size for singlefamily units.
Johnson said the commission is
proposing to increase the dwelling
size from 1,750 to 2,250 square feet.
Larger buildings could be approved
by the towns planning commission.
Under the new proposal, affordable
duplexes could be up to 3,000 square
feet, which drew ire from some of the
residents at Mondays meeting.
Council member Donna Bell said
the Northside neighborhood might
not be the most appropriate place
to build large homes.
Northside is a neighborhood of

The Daily Tar Heel
NC universities take stand against sexual assault

By Hallie Dean
Staff Writer
Competition and rivalry

aside, universities across North
Carolina came together on
Monday to stand in solidarity
against sexual assault as part of
a statewide day of action.
The UNC-system
Association of Student
Governments dedicated the
day to an Its On Us campaign based on the notion
that all campuses are affected
by sexual assault. Anita
Simha, ASG vice president for
campus community, said the
campaign promotes awareness of the issue.
I think it is pretty obvious

that sexual violence is a prevalent and important issue to
combat on university campuses, Simha said. We hope that
spreading awareness will keep
the issue in the back of peoples
minds so that it will come to
the forefront when they have
the chance to be an active
bystander or educate peers.
ASG, which is funded by
an annual $1 student fee and
advocates for the 17 UNCsystem schools, encouraged
each university to participate.
The organization printed Its
On Us T-shirts and distributed them to each school to
get students involved.
East Carolina University is
dedicating an entire week
April 13-17 to the cause. Jake
Srednicki, ECU student body

president, said rape in college
communities is not acceptable
and he hopes this campaign
will stimulate a change.
We hear about victims
that are afraid to talk about it
because people wont believe
them or will label them, he
said. We are trying to create an atmosphere where
students are willing to come
out and talk about it so that
it can be reported and justice
can be served.
Srednicki said his goal is
raising awareness and making
students aware of the resources
available for the treatment and
prevention of sexual assault.
Every year, 25 percent of
our student body is brand new
to the school, he said. Our
community is always changing

so we must make sure to shed
light on ways to stay safe.
Winston-Salem State
University promoted the
campaign Monday by playing an Its On Us video in
the breezeway that is a major
gathering area, along with
handing out ASGs t-shirts.
Kenny Brown, student
governments vice president of
external affairs at WSSU, said
the event got students involved
on campus, with many signing
up online and tweeting with
the hashtag #ItsOnUs.
We have had a couple of
incidents, so I wanted students to become aware of their
job to stand up, Brown said.
It is about making victims
feel comfortable about coming
HICKS
Barakat a final time in the

head before exiting the apartment. He said Hicks turned
himself in to law enforcement
shortly thereafter.
The evidence is sufficient
to proceed with each one of
these murders as a capital
case, Dornfried said.
Hicks will be represented
at trial by attorneys Stephen
Freedman and Terry Alford.
Dornfried and Assistant
District Attorney Stormy Ellis
will represent the state of
North Carolina in prosecuting the case.
Hicks next court date will
be in the first week of June.
District Attorney Roger
Echols said the state is not
planning to pursue a hate
crime charge for Hicks, who
some believe felt hatred
toward the three victims
because they were Muslim.
If its appropriate based
on the federal investigation,
Im sure they will bring those
charges, he said.

vehicle.
In addition to the three
first-degree murder charges,
Hicks is also charged with
discharging a firearm into an
occupied dwelling.
Dornfried said Hicks told
police that on Feb. 10, he
retrieved a firearm from his
residence and went to the
residence of Deah Barakat
and Yusor Abu-Salha, where
Barakat answered the door
and a brief interaction ensued.
Dornfried said no physical
altercation took place before
Hicks pulled out his firearm,
which he had concealed,
and shot Barakat multiple
times. Dornfried said Hicks
then fired shots at Yusor and
Razan Abu-Salha, who were
standing in the apartments
common area.
They were alive after the
first volley of shots toward
them, he said. Each woman
was then shot in the head.
Dornfried said Hicks shot
EXEMPTIONS
FROM PAGE 1
The gay marriage exemption

bill, Magistrates Recusal for
Civil Ceremonies, raises concerns about both civil liberties
and the nature of exemptions.
Introduced by N.C. Senate
President Pro Tempore Phil
Berger, R-Rockingham, the
bill would allow magistrates
to refuse to issue same-sex
marriage licenses. Given magistrates are employees of the
state, it raises whether public
officials who swore an oath
to the state can claim a religious exemption, said William
Marshall, a UNC law professor.
When the religious believer is a magistrate and has an
official role in government,
theres the question of whether
exempting them from doing
their duty with respect to certain folks is providing those
people with the protection
they deserve, Marshall said.
The states existing religious
exemptions related to vaccinations have been contested
in 2015. A bill cosponsored

with the pageant.

Freshman Aliya Tucker
was crowned Miss 1906, the
runner-up, and said her relationship with others involved
in the pageant was surprising.
They told us other contestants would be our best
friends and I didnt believe
them, Tucker said. Ive
gained so many more friends
and so many more people I
can hang around with.
The relationships with
the members of Alpha Phi
Alpha and other contestants
gave Tucker the confidence to
explore her talents, she said.
Im more comfortable
with sharing things about
myself, she said. I wrote
about a really vulnerable time
about an event in my life that
took me and took my faith by
surprise so I took my feelings
out in my writing.
Morrison said he was
proud to be part of an event
that gave women on campus a
out and talking about it.

UNC-Wilmington combined the awareness day with
its Clothesline Campaign.
Students designed a shirt to
hang on a clothesline to be a
voice against domestic violence. They received an Its
On Us T-shirt afterward.
Steve Nunez, an ASG delegate for UNC-W, said sexual
assault today is all too common.
Sexual assault on college campuses, regretfully,
is a theme that we see in the
media time and time again,
while countless incidents go
unreported, he said. We can
eliminate this trend that has
become normalcy in the college experience.

voice and creative outlet.

Its an opportunity to
highlight the efforts of
women who go unnoticed on
a daily basis, he said. Its a
platform for them to build
certain traits like confidence
and public speaking.
Morrison said winning the
pageant is an honor and Miss
Black and Gold represents
the members, their colors and
their fraternity.
For a brother, you have
the woman you selected to
participate as Miss Black
and Gold, and they are your
colors, he said. The fact that
we selected that person you
chose is really special.
RELIGIOUS RIGHTS DEBATED

N.C. lawmakers have debated
religious exemptions several
times in the 2015 session:
An N.C. bill similar to the

controversial religious freedom law passed in Indiana is
sitting in a committee.
forming same-sex marriages

for religious reasons.
state has existing

lawsTheallowing
for religious
exemptions related to
performing abortions and
getting children vaccinated.
Another bill also in committee

The relationship between
would allow the states
freedom of religion and the
magistrates to opt out of per-
law can often be complicated.
by N.C. Sens. Terry Van

Duyn, D-Buncombe; Tamara
Barringer, R-Wake; and Jeff
Tarte, R-Mecklenberg, sought
to overturn the exemptions.
It was defeated in the Senate,
but reflected an effort to tighten compliance, Van Duyn said.
When you think of immunizations as providing a shield
of immunity to disease in a
community, in Buncombe
County were developing cracks
in that shield, Van Duyn said.
Public health concerns focus
on the concept of herd protection, or the protection that
exists for those who cant be
vaccinated including infants
and those with allergies
when enough people have been
immunized. Low compliance
rates put vulnerable populations at risk of contracting diseases such as whooping cough
and measles, said Elizabeth
Hudgins, executive director of
the Raleigh branch of the N.C.
Pediatric Society.
The state also offers religious exemptions to professionals with objections to performing abortions on religious,
moral or ethical grounds.
It acknowledges the
fundamental, constitutional
right these individuals have
to not participate in an abortion procedure if they have
such an objection, said John
Rustin, president of the N.C.
Family Policy Council.
Rustin said groups opposed
to the statute are opposed to
any limitations on the ability
to obtain abortions.
Marshall said he thinks
the interests of doctor and
patient are balanced as long
as women can find the services they need elsewhere.
Theres a lot of debate
about religious exemptions and
when they should be allowed
it goes back a long way, he
said. The question is whether
or not theres another person
who can step in and accommodate both sides interests.

The Daily Tar Heel
Literacy events hit home for residents

A weeks worth of
events examines an
under-the-radar issue.
By Ashlen Renner
Staff Writer
Even in a community that

is home to one of the best
universities in the country,
Orange County still struggles
with illiteracy.
In Orange County, 50 percent of people at least have a
bachelors degree, 30 percent
have an advanced degree,
and yet 15 percent of people
still have trouble reading at a
high school level, said Keyur
Patel, co-chairman of Project
Literacy.
UNC Project Literacy kicked
off its second annual One Week
of Literacy Monday evening
with a lecture on a specific type

of literacy financial literacy.
Postdoctoral research
associate Joe Polich, who
was a fellow at the Center
on Poverty, Work and
Opportunity, which the UNCsystem Board of Governors
voted to close in February,
said college students dont
know enough about finances.
Im not criticizing college
students, he said. I borrowed
a lot of money to go to school
and I didnt understand it all
until after graduation.
The students involved
with Project Literacy want to
create a conversation about
literacy. The financial literacy
event was the first of five
events that will take place
throughout the week.
When you say the word
literacy, financial literacy isnt
something that necessarily
comes to mind, Patel said.

Literacy isnt just reading
and writing. Its how one is
able to interpret life.
Polich said in order to
increase financial literacy, people should start learning about
budgeting before college.
Its important to be educated and express economic interest in an economic debate, he
said. I think the people who
understand the economy and
its complexities are the people
who do well in the economy.
Other events during the
week include a literacy panel
to discuss the current status
of literacy in Orange County,
a Harry Potter trivia night,
and literacy on the lawn where
students can read selections of
their favorite books.
I think literacy is something
that people assume everyone
has, said MaryKate Frisch, a
member of the Special Projects

committee that helped organize the events. One Week of
Literacy is a good way to get
people to recognize that not
everyone has literacy.
Project Literacy works with
both adults and children in
Orange County who struggle
with literacy issues.
Patel hopes that the literacy panel on Tuesday night
will address questions about
literacy in Orange County.
I think (the panelists) will
shed some light into whats
going on within the community now, what was going on
when they were students and
how thats transformed into
todays society, he said. I
think this event is going to be
the one thatll paint the picture of what kinds of issues of
literacy we have to address.
In the midst of Project
DTH/HANNAH ROSEN
As part of the One Week of Literacy, Joe Polich presents on the
importance of students budgeting and being financially literate.
Literacys 25th anniversary,

Frisch hopes this week will better inform students the community about literacy.
A lot of kids are slipping through the cracks in
schools, Frisch said. People

thought that everyone would
be literate by 2014, and that
has not happened.
Q&A with filmmaker and Carrboro to consider getting

professor Marc Grimmett rid of Chapel Hill zip code
UNC Mens Project is hosting a screening of the film, My
Masculinity Helps tonight,
followed by a conversation with
filmmaker and associate professor of counselor education
at N.C. State University, Marc
Grimmett. The film explores
the role of black males in the
prevention of sexual violence.
Staff writer Trevor Lenzmeier
spoke with Grimmett about the
project.
The Daily Tar Heel: Where

did the idea for your film,
My Masculinity Helps, come
from?
Marc Grimmett: The
North Carolina Coalition
Against Sexual Assault was
awarded a grant from the U.S.
Department of Justice Office
on Violence Against Women
to engage men and boys in
sexual prevention, and (the
NCCASA) awarded N.C.
State a portion of that grant
to come up with a project to
accomplish that goal. When I
was asked to participate with
the project, I came up with
idea for the documentary.
DTH: What do you hope the
film means to students?
MG: The first thing I would
like is for people who have
experienced sexual violence
to know there are people
in the community that care
about what has happened to
them and want to make sure
they receive the support and
resources they need for their
healing and recovery. I want
survivors of sexual violence to
feel validated by the content
GO TO THE SCREENING

of the film (which I hope will

take) responsibility for presenting sexual violence (to) the
larger community as opposed
to putting it on the survivors.
In terms of men and boys,
I would like them to see that
we have a critical role to play
in sexual violence prevention
by being accountable for our
actions and using some of the
power and privilege that we are
afforded in a patriarchal society to speak up and speak out
against sexual violence.
DTH: What inspired you

to work with sexual assault
victims?
MG: I have had many people
in my personal life share with
me that they are survivors of
sexual assault or they have
been victimized by sexual
violence, and so that really
sensitized me to the reality of
this violence happening in the
world and of course I empathize with what happened with
them and I wanted to comfort
them and support them.
Later on in my professional career when I became a
counselor and a psychologist,
I started to get more training related to working with

the therapeutic side after it
happened.
DTH: What is the goal of the

surveys related to the movie?
MG: The survey helps us to
assess the impact of the film
in a quantitative and qualitative way. We have these aspirations that people will challenge the myths about rape
for example, that it is the
survivors fault for whatever
happened to them. We hope
people feel empowered as
bystanders to speak up when
women are being devalued, or
gays, lesbians or transgender
people are being devalued,
and to create a safer place for
everyone to exist. The survey
gives us the opportunity to
see if these messages have
taken root.
DTH: What is the next
step where do you go from
here?
MG: Sexual violence prevention has to be an ongoing,
multi-pronged effort. So this
is one contribution to work
that has already been happening and will continue to
go forward. Theres no way I
could have done this on my
own, and I want to continue
to honor these collaborations
with my work.

Some Carrboro residents

could be making a change
close to home: their ZIP codes.
Around half of Carrboros
residents use the ZIP code
27510 in their address, but
the other half, including some
residents close to downtown
Carrboro, use Chapel Hills
27516 ZIP code, said Julie
Eckenrode, assistant to the
town manager and a spokeswoman for the town.
Those boundaries were
set quite a long time ago, she
said. Some areas are even
close to town hall and have a
Chapel Hill ZIP code.
Eckenrode said electronic
surveys will be distributed
to residents in the contested
area on Tuesday in order to
gauge their interest in changing the ZIP code.
Most of the properties
that fall into this category are
residential, said Alderman
Damon Seils.
Alderwoman Bethany
Chaney said some residents
want to get their ZIP code
changed as a matter of identity.
Some in the core of downtown feel like there is a confusion when identifying with
Carrboro but have a Chapel
Hill address, Chaney said.
Eckenrode said the
Carrboro Board of Aldermen
will discuss the surveys
results in May or June.
The survey will allow the
board to determine whether to
call in the United States Postal
Service to start the process of
changing the ZIP code.

The United States Postal
Service would then take
another survey of the residents to make the final call on
the change, she said.
If the United States Postal
Service conducted its own
survey, the government agency would then have a 45-day
window to review it and make
a decision on the change,
Eckenrode said.
She said the last time the
vote was taken was in the
90s. The issue did not garner
enough votes from residents
to pass.
The United States Postal
Service can only take the vote
every 10 years.
The possibility of the
change was brought back up
in September.
We saw some areas more
interested in the change than
others, she said.
Chaney said some residents
are dismayed by the idea and
that the survey will tell the
board whether it is something
residents really want.

For some, it would just be
a pain to change their mailing
address, mortgage address,
business correspondence
address, drivers license and
so on, she said.
Seils said the change would
be a useful communication
tool for engaging Carrboro
residents.
The change would make
it easier for a number of civic
engagements, he said.
Im looking forward to
the results of the survey and
hearing where people stand
on the issue.
Since Carrboro can only
take the survey once every 10
years, Chaney said it is important that residents respond
to the survey in a way that
reflects their true opinions on
the matter.
This is something to help
figure out if we should further
engage the post office, she
said.

The Daily Tar Heel
Library asks residents to pen haikus

By Zhai Yun Tan
Staff Writer
As a college student nearly

50 years ago, Chapel Hill resident Linda DeJongh wrote a
poem about the Vietnam War
after witnessing a friend lose
her spouse.
She was pregnant with
his baby, and she still went
to classes, but Ive never seen
anyone who looked as bleak,
DeJongh said. I was pretty
naive about the war then,
so I wrote a poem about the
soldiers.
DeJongh submitted the
poem for her colleges poetry

class, and she has never forgotten it since.
Its one I kept in my
brain, she said. It was more
of a personal thing.
Now, shes submitting it
to the Chapel Hill Public
Librarys Community Haiku
Project. A resident of Chapel
Hill for more than 30 years,
DeJongh visits the library to
borrow books for her granddaughter every week.
The librarys second
community haiku project
celebrates National Poetry
Month and National Library
Week. Chapel Hill librarian

and organizer Sarah Wagner
said she suggested hosting the
project to encourage community engagement.
I was thinking it would
be a fun way to get the community involved, she said.
Haiku seems like a good
way to keep it in a form that
people can manage.
Haiku is a traditional
Japanese form of poetry
with a specified structure.
There are three lines that
have five, seven and five syllables, respectively. There
can only be a total of seven-
teen syllables in the poem.

Its not too hard and people can be creative, Wagner
said.
The haiku submissions will
be typed and printed on cardstock that will be displayed in
the library.
More than 10 haikus have
already been submitted and
are currently on display.
Most of them are about
the library, the space and
reading, Wagner said. A
couple are about nature, and
one is about war.
She said all the submissions will be compiled into
a booklet for public viewing

at the end of the project. All
participants will also enter a
random raffle for the book.
Longtime library patron
Frank Barnes wrote his haiku
about the contest itself.
It was like a little bit of a
joke, Barnes said. But I do
love haikus.
Barnes said he has lived in
Chapel Hill since 1992, and
the library was one of the first
places he visited.
Ive lived in different parts
of the country and this is
the best library weve seen,
he said. Its big, it has more
services and the electronic

magazine system is outstanding.
Interested community
members can submit haikus
both online and in person.
The instructions are available on the librarys website,
together with an example of a
haiku. The deadline for submission is April 15.
I really enjoy seeing the
different haikus come in,
Wagner said. Its really interesting seeing different perspectives and stories.
Pulso Pulso show fuses Spanish into songs

By Maddie Flager
Staff Writer
When students in JOMC

491 walked into class the
first day this semester, all
they knew was that theyd be
working on a creative project
for a local client.
Tonight, the hard work
of Workroom: The Creative
Advertising Incubator
and three more of Dana
McMahans spring advertising
classes will come to fruition
in Pulso Pulso, a musical performance celebrating Spanish
and English cultures. Held at
Memorial Hall, there will be
salsa dancing and food trucks
outside, including drinks and
desserts from Sugarland.
The event features local
groups like Skinny Bag of
Sugar, which will work with
the rapper Jaeo.
The event is sponsored by
the Curtis Media Group and
one of its radio stations La

Ley 101.1 FM. Proceeds from
ticket sales will go to UNC
Family Medicine.
The journalism school
classes handled different
aspects of the event, said
McMahan, with the workroom class split into five
teams focused on topics like
audience engagement and
business development.
La Ley, a major Spanish
radio station on the east coast,
had a hand in the nights Latin
theme. They wanted to connect the large Hispanic population in North Carolina with
the greater North Carolina
population, class member
Rachael Meleney said.
Meleney worked on the
talent and show team, which
chose acts based on demo tapes
sent in from interested artists.
We also wanted bands
that were willing and able to
adapt their music such as
Spanish music that they could

translate lyrics into English
and vice versa, Meleney said.
The Marcel Portilla Band,
based in Charlotte, almost
always performs in Spanish.
For this event however, the
band is playing two Spanish
songs and two English songs.
It was difficult (to translate songs into English),
Portilla said. A song that is
already established, that is
popular, to switch it is really
complicated with the phonetics and making sure the
rhythms are right.
Portilla called it an interesting challenge, though, and
part of why he applied for
the event. His band is made
up of people from different
geographical backgrounds as
well as music styles, and said
they are excited to bring their
diversity to the show.
Another group performing,
Ellis Dyson and the Shambles,
PULSO PULSO
Time: 6:30 p.m. salsa dancing, show starts at 8 p.m.
Location: Memorial Hall
Info: bit.ly/1FwpCZn
heard about the event through

McMahan. They normally
perform folk music mixed with
ragtime, swing and jazz influences, but are excited about
infusing a Latin style into their
songs for Pulso Pulso, said
Dyson, who sings and plays the
banjo and guitar for the band.
In true UNC fashion,
Carolina on My Mind will
ring through Memorial Hall,
but this time with a twist. The
Clef Hangers and Loreleis
will sing the iconic song
together, translating parts of
it into Spanish.

The Daily Tar Heel
UVa. frat to sue Rolling Stone over article

The story detailing
an alleged gang rape
has been retracted.
By Sharon Nunn and
Nick Niedzwiadek
Assistant State & National Editors
Six months after Rolling

Stone published the explosive
A Rape on Campus article
detailing an alleged gang rape
at the University of Virginias
Phi Kappa Psi fraternity
house, the UVa. chapter
announced Monday that it
will be suing the magazine.
After 130 days of living
under a cloud of suspicion as a
result of reckless reporting by
Rolling Stone Magazine, today
the Virginia Alpha Chapter
of Phi Kappa Psi announced
plans to pursue all available legal action against the
magazine, read a statement
released by the fraternity.
The suit is the latest chapter in a saga that has roiled
the journalism world and
raised concerns that the stories of sexual assault survivors
wont be believed.
Rolling Stone officially
retracted the story Sunday
and published a 12,000-word
investigation into how the
storys fabrications made it
through the editing process.
The investigation was led by
Steve Coll, a Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist and dean
of Columbia Universitys
School of Journalism.
Rolling Stones repudiation of the main narrative in
A Rape on Campus is a story
of journalistic failure that was
avoidable, the report read.
The failure encompassed
reporting, editing, editorial
supervision and fact-checking.
The report found that the
author of the article, Sabrina
Erdely, and the editing staff
set aside the magazines normal fact-checking standards
in deference to Jackie, a
pseudonymous source whose
claim of a gang rape by fraternity members was discredited
by The Washington Post
shortly after the story was
published.
Erdely released a statement in The New York Times
apologizing for her reporting
Reporting on rape has unique challenges, but the

journalist still has the responsibility to get it right.
Sabrina Erdely,
author of Rolling Stones now-retracted article A Rape on Campus
and the potential damage

it does to the credibility of
sexual assault victims.
I allowed my concern for
Jackies well-being, my fear of
re-traumatizing her and my
confidence in her credibility to take the place of more
questioning and more facts,
Erdely wrote.
Reporting on rape has
unique challenges, but the
journalist still has the responsibility to get it right, she
wrote. I hope that my mistakes in reporting this story
do not silence the voices of
victims that need to be heard.
Originally, Erdely asked
Jackie for the name of her
attacker, but Jackie refused
to give the name because she
said she was still afraid of
him. After the story was published and gained 2.7 million
views, Erdely asked Jackie a
second time.
This time, Jackie gave
Erdely a name but she
couldnt recall how to properly spell his last name. Erdely
then began to research his
name and couldnt confirm
his identity.
On Dec. 5, the magazine
published an editors note stating discrepancies in the allegations made by its sources.
Investigations made by media
outlets and the Charlottesville
Police Department found that
the fraternity was not involved
with the events portrayed in
the story.
To this day, images of the
fraternity house continue to
be used by news organizations to cover this issue on
other campuses, the fraternitys statement read.
THE CAVALIER DAILY/SARAH MACADAM

University of Virginia students gather outside of the Phi Kappa Psi house in November to protest
the fraternity following the release of the explosive Rolling Stone article A Rape on Campus.

QUOTE OF THE DAY
Whether people ought to be having sex or

not is not the job of us (or the government) to
be determining, nor is it relevant.
Seth Rose
appy Swipe Season!

You can now catch
me and my crew
outside the Lenoir escalator
asking for a ride up to free tots,
Monday through Sunday.
Trader Joes was out of honeycrisp apples last time I went,
my feelings got hurt, and I am
hoping to not have to go back
until after graduation.
Help me make that happen, swipe kids, and Ill help
your relationship with your
folks by making it look like you
didnt waste the meal plan they
bought you.
But this time of year is not
just about receiving gifts,
friends.
Swipe Season, like all great
Jewish holidays, is a time for
giving back. Remember that
as long as youre around to
take free swipes, youve still
got time to make a difference
on campus.
Our time is winding down
quick yall real freaking
quick. I, like many of you, am
in desperate need of something
to alert me to that reality. Just
in time for the holidays, I have
prepared a guide for using the
gift of free food to reinvigorate
your final weeks at UNC.
During Swipe Season,
seniors, it is not cool to compare the personal prestige of
your future against others. I
spoke to yall about this a little
bit in my last column, but it is
worth reiterating.
Our metrics for valuing
success are flawed. To those of
you who are beginning an elite
career path after graduation,
congratulations, but remember
that your status does not make
you superior to your fellow
graduates.
Former UNC Professor
Omid Safi said it right in a
recent article in On Being: It
doesnt matter to me who you
work for in your life. I wanna
know what gives meaning to
your living. It doesnt matter
to me where you live. I wanna
know what you are living for.
Reinforcing societal pressure to succeed is not behavior
deserving of swipes.
Swipe Season is not a time
to grow tired of addressing
justice, class of 2015. Although
we are becoming tired, we
must remember that injustice
persists on campus despite our
growing senioritis.
Like many of you, I am
having a tough time resisting burnout. But the Board of
Governors and other foes are
not tired. Fight back and earn
your swipes.
Always thank your swiper,
seniors. And before you do that,
thank your parents, professors,
mentors, friends and all the
people who have loved you into
the position you are in now.
For my swipes, I pledge to
earnestly express how much I
value my housemates presence
and influence. I will show up
to office hours of the professors
who made me think deeper,
just to talk.
Over dinner, I will speak
with my Mom, Dad and big
brother about familial love,
politics, heritage and the
immense sacrifice involved in
my upbringing. Family, you
will delight in all the money I
will save during Swipe Season.
I also deeply enjoy Lenoir
fries and eating for free. Its a
holiday make your mama
proud and lend me a swipe!
We both know you have
more than half left.

Violence has no place

EDITORIAL
A shared responsibility
Efforts to fight
sexual assault need
student support.
pril is Sexual
Assault Awareness
Month, and UNC
has been supportive of the
many campus events that
will work to bring awareness to sexual violence and
its prevention. An event
calendar can be found at
saam.web.unc.edu.
Also this month, the
University will conduct the
Association of American
Universities Campus
Climate Survey on Sexual
Assault. As part of efforts
to improve conditions on
campus surrounding sexual
violence, the survey will

provide a better understanding of the prevalence
of sexual harassment, sexual assault and interpersonal
violence at UNC.
In addition to participating in SAAM events,
all UNC students should
pledge to participate in
the survey.
Unfortunately, this
survey lacks transparency
in that the AAU will only
release the results to their
respective universities.
Schools are not required
to publicly release the
data, which will make it
difficult to compare the
efficacy of approaches to
combating sexual assault.
Understanding the
importance of longitudinal comparisons in studies about sexual violence,

UNC has said it intends to
release its data after this
summer.
Even though the full
potential of the survey will
be limited by universities
that choose not to release
their data, UNC will still be
able to use it for improvements. The results will
help the University gauge
the effectiveness of its
sexual violence prevention
programs and policies.
Responsibility for
ensuring the survey
yields productive results
therefore relies on the
participation of as many
students as possible.
EDITORIAL
A bureaucratic burden
Academic Advising
should schedule
student meetings
f the many
bureaucracies
that exist on campus, Academic Advising
is one of the most criticized. Every freshman is
required to meet with an
academic advisor before
the end of their second
semester or otherwise risk
the chance to register for
upcoming classes.
We propose staggering
meeting dates for freshmen to evenly divide the
burden for advisors and
ensure these meetings

do occur. This system
could get more students
on track earlier in their
careers. Advising should
also urge upper-level
students to meet with
faculty advisors in their
departments unless the
meeting does not pertain
to the department.
The current model
encourages students to
put off their appointment
until the last minute.
Advisors are overburdened, and this tendency
makes things worse. A
typical advisor deals with
497 cases each year. And
securing a meeting is a
less-than-straightforward
process. Many appointments are cancelled by
advisors hours before they
take place, and the burden
to reschedule is placed on
the student. Automatically
scheduling these meetings
at the beginning of the
semester could cut down
on cancellations.
To be clear, we are not
challenging the notion that
every freshman should
meet with an advisor.
Advising most benefits students unfamiliar with the
academic bureaucracy.
But it does not need to
be a thorn in the side of
freshman students.
ADVICE COLUMN
You Asked for It

In which we go catfishing and celebrate the quads rebirth.
Drew Goins (a 20-yearold man in Dubai) and
Kelsey Weekman (a 57-yearold woman in her parents
basement) are the advice
columnists of You Asked for
It. Results may vary.
You: I like this girl I met

online, but Im afraid she
might be a catfish. Any tips?
YAFI: If youre not hip with
teen slang or have gotten lost

here on your way to find our
sister fishing advice column
(You Cast for It!), a catfish is
someone who pretends to be
someone they are not on the
Internet.
Stephanie, the 21-yearold aspiring model that you
caught on your lure of digital
charm might actually be a
47-year-old dude.
The best thing you can
do is just never meet and
hope either your love dissipates over time or religious
authorities invent a way to
marry people via Kik.
If you insist on meeting,
become the worse catfish
yourself. Go full Bjork and
show up to your first encoun-

ter in a swan dress or just

dress up as an actual catfish.
Then take her to see Paul
Blart: Mall Cop 2 and talk
about your journey to becoming an Operating Thetan.
You wont have to worry
about whoever Stephanie
turns out to be (its probably
Stephen, sorry) and youll
land a spot on an MTV show.
You: How do you suggest

celebrating now that quad
construction is done?
YAFI: Weve spent the last
eight months coping with
the chain link fences that
turned the quad into a minotaurs plaything.
Not since the fall of the

Berlin Wall or Jennifer
Annistons middle part has
the dissolution of a barrier
been such a joyous occasion.
To celebrate, print out
maze worksheets to pass out
to your friends. Instead of
completing them traditionally, just have them draw
straight lines from start to
finish and then high-five.
Maybe head over to the
Duke Lemur Center and help
take down their fences, too.
If Zoboomafoo (RIP) gets the
freedom to produce a childrens television series, his
brethren should at least get
to roam the Triangle. Also, if
we couldnt steal the national
championship from Duke, we
can at least steal their trained
mammals.
Of course, the only way
to truly christen the new
and improved quad is
with a good, ol fashioned
LDOC party, so prepare
yourselves. Do your best
to avoid falling into soft
patches of earth that could
give way to the now asbestos-free steam tunnels.
TO THE EDITOR:
As a priest in Gods
church, I was horrified to
hear of Matthew Fenners
experience in a church he
originally saw as sanctuary
and refuge.
His fortitude and courage in the midst of his
experience is moving and
a testament to his faith
that God is bigger than
the pathology and twisted
theology of some who think
God is on their side and
their actions immune to
prosecution.
The photograph of
Matthew in The Daily
Tar Heel was taken at the
Chapel of the Cross, where
I serve as chaplain to UNC
students and faculty.
Chapel of the Cross has
a longterm history of being
an open and affirming
community where all are
Gods children, no exceptions. It has been a place of
healing and wholeness for
many.
It seems to me that love
is in short supply in this
world, and I cannot imagine why God would care
who someone loves only
that they do.

Join Greeks to raise

money for OCRCC
TO THE EDITOR:
This Thursday at 6 p.m.
at the Old Well, our fraternity, Sigma Phi, as well
as Kappa Kappa Gamma
Sorority will host Walk a
Mile, a fundraiser for the
Orange County Rape Crisis
Center.
Some students will recall
that we hosted a similar
event as part of last years
Sexual Assault Awareness
Month. Our aspirations
remain much the same; we
seek to serve a vital community partner while providing space for important
conversations, particularly
on the role Greek institutions must play in making
campus safe for all students. We are also happy to
announce that we are once
again partnering with One
Act and CAGE Carolina
Advocating for Gender
Equality.
However, those in
attendance will also notice
changes in this years
iteration.
First, this will be the
first event on this campus
where all four Greek councils will stand together
against sexual assault. Walk
a Mile will also be sponsored by the sisters and
brothers of Lambda Phi
Epsilon, Lambda Pi Chi, St.
Anthony Hall, Delta Sigma
Theta Sorority, Inc., Alpha
Kappa Alpha and Kappa
Alpha Psi.
Second, in a departure
from the policy of our
former national affiliate
Walk a Mile in Her
Shoes all participants
will be invited to wear
shoes belonging to another
woman or man, emphasizing that sexual violence

affects all students on
campus, regardless of their
gender identity.
We hope this event will
encourage participants to
become more involved in
the ongoing fight to make
UNC safe for all Tar Heels.
If you have any questions,
suggestions or criticisms
for us regarding our event,
please feel free to email
us at abrennen@live.unc.
edu.
I will be walking on
Thursday because one in
five women experience
sexual violence during
their tenure on a college
campus, and that violence
is disproportionately committed by fraternity men.
It is not only good that we
address this issue its
necessary. We hope youll
walk with us.

Business Administration
Legislation a mockery
of good governance
TO THE EDITOR:
House Bill 465 is another
example of the N.C. General
Assemblys long-standing
policy of chipping away at
reproductive justice for the
women of North Carolina.
While the focus of this
debate should be on womens issues, it is important
to note another violation
this bill creates.
Section 5 states that no
employee of either UNC or
Eastern Carolina University
medical schools may,
perform or supervise the
performance of an abortion
as part of the employees
official duties.
The similarities
between this case and that
of creation-science laws
would be laughable if they
werent so sad. The government is attempting to
tell schools what to teach
so that the legislative
bodys Christian majority
can protect its viewpoint
in both cases.
In both cases, state
governments are clearly
overstepping their limits.
Academic freedom is the
concept that universities
must be free to go about
their business in an effort
of furthering civilization as
a whole. University systems
should be allowed to decide
what and how to teach students, regardless of what a
group of politicians believe.
Without this freedom,
schools could just be a
training ground for whatever policies the party in
power wants, instead of a
center of ideas.
Abortions are going to
happen in North Carolina.
This section of the bill
would only hold back the
education of students. The
General Assembly should
be embarrassed by this bill.
But Im sure this will not
be the last bill suppressing
the rights of their constituents. Thats the problem
when you elect people who
have agendas other than
protecting people.
