      <![CDATA[As a 1987 alumnus of GSW, let me again confirm that anyone who has experienced those six magical weeks will <bold>never<bold> see the world the same again. So I am at a loss to understand why an organization that encourages its students to question everything would provide such a poor example by caving into pressure from an outside group.

      <![CDATA[I am a 1997 GSE alumna and just wanted to add to the chorus of "it was the best six weeks of my life" in which I learned much more about learning itself and about myself, than in did in four years of high school. It was an absolutely essential experience for me, and some of my classmates and I are now professional colleagues, over a decade later.

      <![CDATA[As a spouse and parent of  Governor's School alumni, I was incensed at interference from an out-of-state right-wing group.I would oppose one coming from N.C., but cannot understand why DPI would cave to one from another state. The experiences that my husband and daughters had were positively life changing.To be challenged by out-of-the-box thinking is the goal of gifted education and of the Governor's School of the past.

I was a member of Tanya's reading group, and the twenty or so of us had the most amazing debates and discussions on the topic, regardless of our actually having read the book or not.

I was very distraught when I heard about Tanya's (and, for that matter, other staff members) difficulty.

      <![CDATA[I think there are a few points in this story that should be introduced. First off, I agree that the beauty of the Governor's School is that it presents both sides of controversial issues without advocating for either, but I think it could be argued that there is no advocacy for heterosexuality in the film series.

      <![CDATA[I attended Governor's School in 1999 at the West Campus site in Winston-Salem. That was nearly a decade ago and the "issue" of sexuality was not a focal point.

      <![CDATA[after reading this article, i am absolutely irate at what the DPI has done to this instructor at the hands of a group that is conservative and close closed-minded. ADF is not a group that is even located within NC therefore why is what we do such a huge deal to them.

      <![CDATA[North Carolina Governor's School East was one of the purest educational experiences that I have ever had the pleasure of having. Governor's School presents, in a warm and open environment, all sides of both controversial and uncontroversial issues while advocating for neither side.
