Florida beat us to it

by Matt Comer, April 30, 2008, 6:56 pm

Seems as though the Florida Legislature beat good ole’ N.C. in passing a state-wide anti-bullying bill protecting LGBT students. We’ve got a similar bill that needs to be passed by our State Senate this coming session.

No word yet on whether Gov. Crist is going to sign it, although the Florida Senate vote was 39-0.

Oh. By the way, North Carolina’s still the most progressive Southern state.
