Protests Take to the Streets

Dozens of protestors marched in downtown Raleigh, North Carolina yesterday. They are upset that lawmakers want to close a local school for the blind and send the children to the school for the deaf. The plan to shut down Governor Morehead School would send them to either the Eastern North Carolina School for the Deaf in Wilson or the North Carolina School for the Deaf in Morganton. Neither facility is equipped to handle blind students.
