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:
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.
