glad the panel rejected it. But its absurd there was even an issue to begin with.
I'll refrain from making any generalizations, but come on South Carolina.The J-man

Me to. It shouldn't have been an issue anyway.
Supporting LION FORGE COMICS and other independent publishers.
Check out Lion Forge's Catalyst Prime Universe. Its the best damned superhero verse in comics. Diverse characters and interesting stories set in a universe where anyone can be a hero. And company that prides itself on representation both in the comics themselves and in the people behind them.

Good news. This is a hideous assault on academic freedom. And it's happening at a college that just appointed Glenn McDonnell, a notorious Confederate supporter with no academic experience at all, as its president, despite a 98% vote of no confidence from the faculty.
I hope this news means that the South Carolina legislature is finally sick of the bad press that they've been getting over this.

As their "neighbor", I can vouch for those generalizations!

Wow, seeing something like this be an issue in this day and age! Not sure if I should be happy that they voted against it or be extremely sad that there even was any voting instead of a big F OFF to who ever came up with this or supported it.
