Polygamy Fall-Out Hits Schools

Oy.

EdWeek has a doozy today about the vexing problem now facing the Texas school system: What to do with all those many children, some 400-plus of them, recently removed from the polygamists' compound, the Yearning For Zion ranch, in Eldorado.

For now anyway, the state is sending school supplies and materials, and not a few teachers, to school the kids at the shelters housing them until all the legal wrangling is worked out.

Interesting.
