Monday

I am lucky enough to know the Tracy family and was witness to their daughter India's hurt and depression over the bullying and discrimination she experienced because of her family's religious beliefs. This is one of the finest families I know and Union County, Tennessee has made a big mistake in allowing their child to be treated in this way. They didn't want to have to bring a lawsuit. They really didn't. But now that they have been forced to do so by Union County's unwillingness to address India's haassment, I hope that their lawyers, Margaret Held and Jackie Kittrell hold the school system totally accountable. I told India that she is a real hero for standing up for her religious freedom and that of kids who may follow her through the Union County school system.
