Wave of Teen Suicides Sweep Michele Bachmann’s District

Much more on the Bachmann’s gay exorcism clinic in my previous diary here.

While Bachmann remains mum, the Justice Department and Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights are both investigating allegations of antigay bullying in connection to the rise in suicide rates. The Southern Poverty Law Center filed a lawsuit against the district just last week over their “neutrality” policy.

Senator Al Franken introduced federal legislation requiring school districts to protect LGBT students.

A phone call requesting Bachmann to discuss Franken’s legislation went unanswered.

Please…do read the entire article by Mother Jones‘ Stephanie Mencimer. It’s an amazing piece of reporting. My efforts to summarize it all here for you are just the tip of the iceberg.
