I actually think reading Atlas Shrugged in school would be a good idea, because then you are doing it in a setting where you can talk about it and maybe have someone point out why things that you might sound good to you as a 13 year old psychopath are actually bad, and that won't happen if you're just reading it on your own because your conservative parents want you to.

UNC's faculty are very liberal but their management is mostly horrible people. It's the same at NCSU, and many other colleges in the state.

I work at UNC and the first thing my department did was convert every single occupancy bathroom to unisex, after HB2 passed.

what's more likely to happen is after cooper's certified as the winner, the ga will call an emergency session to strip the governor's office of every unilateral power it has- stuff like appointing the state elections board, the unc board, and most importantly the state bureau of investigations. which incidentally was moved from the ag's office after mccrory became governor because he and a few ga members were tied up in a federal corruption investigation revolving around video poker lobbyists that took down the lt governor of florida

I can only laugh at the idea any (right-wing) politician in the US is even slightly afraid of being shot/hung/stabbed/etc by anyone that isn't to the right of them politically.

e: I don't live in NC but I'm extremely interested to see what sort of new restrictions the GA places for the special elections next year because it'll be a rough draft of what people should expect for the 2018 midterms nationwide.

They just extended the bill filing deadline another 30 minutes so they can file more emergency bills on poo poo like class sizes, refrigerators, letting Greene County build a small parking lot, disrupting the election commissionstate board of elections, letting peace offers kill escaped reptiles without consulting with zoo officials, removing car emissions inspections in a bunch of counties and other things totally related to hurricane relief.
