Throughout the crowd, there were some pockets of civil discourse occurring. On Tuesday night, June 8th, two sizable crowds gathered outside of the New Hanover County School Board Building off of 13th Street. They mainly fell into two camps: One opposing what they call Critical Race Theory, and the other supporting diversity and equity measures, as well as the new policy on transgender middle school students’ ability to play sports. WHQR was there and talked to those at the rally. A major skirmish in the culture wars exploded onto the scene before this week’s board meeting, after both sides spent weeks organizing.
