HARRISBURG, Pa. — Hundreds of Roman Catholic priests in Pennsylvania molested more than 1,000 children — and possibly many more — since the 1940s, and senior church officials, including a man who is now the archbishop of Washington, D.C., systematically covered up the abuse, according to a grand jury report released Tuesday. The "real number" of abused children might be in the thousands since some secret church records were lost, and victims were afraid to come forward, the grand jury said. http://www.startribune.com/deadlin...

Intimate partner violence, in all forms, is destructive at its heart. Most people can identify the more common forms of abuse, which include physical, emotional, sexual and financial. One of the lesser known forms, cultural or spiritual abuse, is one of the most devastating, yet it is rarely spoken of. For Native peoples, spirituality is often the core of who we are and our way of life. Our culture and spirituality are intertwined and provide the foundation of our lives – how we live, our f...

Three out of four Illinois children starting kindergarten aren’t prepared.

But perhaps more surprising, wealthier districts repor...

After all, as a 10-year school administrator, Hughes thought he had done just fine under the previous system.
