An open invitation to move
(04/10/13 7:49am)
Instead of attempting to actively change some of the policies currently working their way through the North Carolina legislature, I would urge all Duke students (and all North Carolinians in general) to voice their dissatisfaction with the government’s current trajectory by leaving the state. In a knowledge-based economy, we are the state’s most important asset. We are the intelligent, creative people who have helped make areas like the Triangle vibrant and economically competitive. By voting with our feet and deserting North Carolina, we can reward areas of the country that are implementing progressive policies, while pressuring North Carolina lawmakers to reconsider their social policies.
