There is a certain pride that comes with being a University of North Carolina (UNC) Chapel Hill student, and we are about as Carolina blue-blazing as they come. Take one look at the excessive UNC apparel in our wardrobes, the bumper stickers on our cars, or the smiles we get whenever someone says “Chapel Hill,” and it is clear just how honored we are to attend our institution. However, as “Tar Heels born and Tar Heels bred,” we are concerned that free speech at UNC may soon be dead — at least for pro-life Tar Heels.
In spite of the fact that UNC-Chapel Hill has historically painted itself as a “diverse place, making room for an array of different viewpoints,” as Chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz stated recently, pro-life students on campus are essentially being told “except for you” — and unfortunately, it is our peers leading the charge against us.
