Larry Gordon: Repelling prospective UNC students

As a 1970 graduate of UNC now living in South Carolina, I’ve been following the back and forth related to the bathroom bill passed in March. I’m alarmed that right-wing extremists have somehow taken over the NC General Assembly. How did this happen? I’m dismayed now that the NCAA has pulled the plug. The bathroom bill is ruining the state’s image and, by association, my university. Would I want to attend UNC now, given the political climate in N.C.? Not likely.
