    • Anoka-Hennepin school district votes in neutrality policy

      Minnesota’s Anoka-Hennepin school district, now infamous for its high number of youth suicides, has voted to replace a widely criticized policy that prohibited discussion of LGBT issues in the classroom. 

      In its place is a new policy that promotes “respectful exchange of views” on topics like homosexuality. The policy’s not perfect, but the SPLC has said that it no longer singles out LGBT students. 

      Two weeks ago Rolling Stone published an impressive article about Anoka-Hennepin’s problem with suicide, which may have been an impetus to officials’ decision to act. 

      Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
