[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]North Carolina and Georgia aren’t so red, and some parts may be more diverse and inclusive  than your wealthy suburban DMV enclaves. I wonder how many of you who complain about red states and preach diversity have a diverse social crowd (in all respects- ethnically, racially,  socioeconomically, politically). [/quote]

As someone who does not want their kids in red states for college, [b]the issue is state law, not diversity or the culture of the towns the schools are in. [/b]

North Carolina is a great example—Chapel Hill is an amazing, diverse community. But North Carolina is an increasingly regressive state in terms of law (e.g., reproductive health) and how power is distributed (e.g., after Democrats won virtually all statewide offices in 2024, the gerrymandered legislature used its lame-duck session to take power from those offices and transfer it to Republicans). I have an LGBTQ child, and it doesn’t matter how LGBTQ-friendly Chapel Hill is if they are not protected under state law.[/quote]

Exactly. People who don’t understand that probably don’t have a kid who could potentially be harmed by the laws of the state they live in. I myself grew up in an extremely liberal, majority black southern city within a very red state. Did being in a liberal city help when the state started making regressive laws? No. [/quote]
