As the release recounted the facts of the case, &#160; The minor child, &#8220;L.G.,&#8221; is a student at Roosevelt Middle School, which is part of the Twin Lakes School Corporation in Monticello, Ind. In early January, school [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Democrats for Education Reform is an important organization in our state. It&#8217;s composed of people&#8211;mostly, but not exclusively, Democrats&#8211;who want to approach education issues from the standpoint of what is best for children, and without the usual political constraints. (&#8220;Political constraints&#8221; in this context means automatic obeisance to the teachers&#8217; unions. The organization is not [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s the effort to ban the non-existent use of Sharia law by the state&#8217;s judiciary, a bill prescribing how school children must sing the Star Spangled Banner (no, I am not making that up&#8211;and I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>
