LGBT-themed book

In response to our online article, “S.C. groups criticize LGBT-themed reading assignment at Upstate college,” qnotescarolinas.com/24970/.

I am a recently retired administrator for a SC public school. I praise the wisdom and courage of the educators who facilitate this learning and required reading. History tells us this is one of the ways to ‘spread humanity”. Ironic how other books spreading humanity are often controversial; i.e. The Bible. Someone, please send these required readings to our Governor so she will be a more informed leader of her constituents.

I think a Winston-Salem LGBT center is a great idea.
