Daniel Kort studies psychology at Duke, and he was bullied in elementary school and junior high. "I was called a 'fag' by one of my hall mates," he said. "I was lucky to have my friends there to intervene, but I know that not all students are as fortunate... This experience propelled my enthusiasm to work on the campaign."
