"In an area where just 20 percent of adults have college educations…"

No wonder Bachmann does well there.

Shame on all the adults for not stepping up and the homophobes who help create such an atmosphere of terror for so many kids.

of hate crimes and child abuse. Adults should be held accountable for this. Too bad the national media does not give this more attention in the major networks.

I sure hope the changes make some difference to the lives of the kids there.

The Anoka-Hennepin school district is absolutely toxic. Made up of suburban cities in Anoka and Hennpin Counties, it's an island of red adjacent to the solid blue city of Minneapolis. I live in St. Paul. Democrats in both cities are horrified that this is going on. Bachmann reflects this ugly district.

this. It's so ugly and here we had a presidential hopeful emanating from this ugliness.

It's a local story, but it's also gotten attention from the national media. They don't cover it constantly, but they have covered it when there's news. Right now, there isn't much news on this issue. The school year is almost over, so I don't expect to hear much until next fall. I don't live near the district, so I haven't attended any school board meetings, but they've been covered by the local newspaper and TV news outlets.

The national media doesn't cover local issues like this on a continual basis. Only when there's something new do they cover the story. But it has been covered.

and its too late.

Thanks for the inside scoop on a really ugly situation. I hope there can be some real change, it can't come fast enough obviously. K&R
