Abstract:
In the debate over House Bill 2, opinions diverge on who is the intimidator. The author talks about why efforts to find a compromise broke down and how the value of freedom versus security played a role. For opponents of the “bathroom bill,” state lawmakers were bullies dictating to local officials what ordinances they could pass and which bathrooms transgender North Carolinians could use in government buildings. For supporters of HB2, out-of-state interests were the bullies who were using boycotts and other pressure to dictate what laws could be passed and what their bathroom policies could be.

Due to the nationwide backlash, the law has had a major impact on North Carolina’s economy.

Abstract:
After two years of fighting for the right to form a chapter of the Gay-Straight Alliance at A.L. Stanback Middle School and only four meetings, the club has been eliminated. The principal Gloria Jones has instated a policy that does not allow non-academic clubs to meet during school hours. Jones claims this is district policy and an instructional decision, but several members of the community say no such district policy exists. Students in the club feel defeated and multiple faculty members have come under scrutiny by administration for their support of the club.

Abstract:
"A combination of misguided, but often well-intentioned groups have tried to erase the facts of life and expose children as young as possible to the idea that sex is changeable and dependent on nothing more than feelings. Many parents and adults who work with
and care about children are justifiably concerned at this growing trend to push the idea of changeable genders and force gender affirmation at earlier and earlier ages, particularly in schools. "
The article emphasizes that how the transgender issue is approahed in the school will make all the difference.
