Description | The Anoka-Hennepin School District in Minnesota has seen nine student suicides over the past year. And how does the superintendent of the state's largest school district respond?
Student Deaths Not Our Problem
"None of the suicides were connected to incidents of bullying," declared Superintendent Dennis Carlson at a school board meeting on Monday, December 13.
As a teacher, as a parent, as a human being, I am outraged. Instead of showing sympathy, remorse, the desire to do a better job in the face of such enormous human tragedy, the district has taken every opportunity to silence the growing voices of concern and cover their own asses. |
