Reporter Among Dozens Arrested in Latest "Moral Monday" Protest in North Carolina 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In North Carolina, so-called "Moral Monday" protests against right-wing
extremism in the state legislature continued at the state's General
Assembly. Nearly 100 people were arrested, including Charlotte Observer
faith reporter Tim Funk, who was there covering the action with a press
ID around his neck. Thousands have turned out to protest cuts to social
programs and attempts to scale back voting rights.
