“It’s not always been a good place for women to be able to present ourselves,” Landrieu continued. “It’s more of a conservative place, so we’ve had to work a little bit harder on that. But, you know, the people trust me, I believe. Really, they do. They trust me to do the right thing for the state.”

MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) -More bullied teachers are sharing tales of terror regarding unruly students. One teacher claims the constant harassment led her to contemplate suicide.
The first story about a bullied teacher, which aired Wednesday night on WMC Action News 5, prompted emails and phone calls from other teachers, including one who says students at LaRose Elementary School forced her to quit. "And there were times that I would just cry and literally contemplate suicide over the job," said Beth Moore, whose last job in Shelby County was at LaRose Elementary School. She says she left before the school year ended because things had gotten so bad. "I was physically, verbally, and emotionally abused by children," she added. Moore, who is now a substitute teacher in Arkansas, says she was inspired to come forward by Grandview Heights Middle School math teacher DaNita Martin, who told the school board this week that she is also calling it quits. "Students tell me, 'Who the F-bomb do you think you're talking to' and 'Shut the F up talking to me,' but they go unpunished," Martin told the school board.

In Brooklyn, New York, a 13-year-old Jewish girl was attacked as part of a new violent game called, "What the hell are they?" In a bizarre twist, crowds shouted antisemitic slurs as police arrived to arrest the alleged teenaged attacker.

The suspect led the authorities on a manhunt through two counties. After he was booked into the Sacramento County jail, federal immigration authorities used his fingerprints to identify the man, who gave his name as Marcelo Marquez: They said he was Luis Enrique Monroy Bracamonte, a Mexican who lived without papers in this country for more than a decade after he was deported in 1997 and again in 2001 because of drug- and weapon-related arrests. “This case shows that our laws are not being enforced, and there are tragic consequences to not enforcing them,” said Ira Mehlman, a spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, or FAIR, a group that advocates tougher immigration controls.

John Sexton has some questions for CBS --though they're currently refusing any comment at all on anything to do with Sheryl Attkisson. Nevertheless, he wrote an email to CBS: I sent 60 Minutes an inquiry about all of this today. My email recounts the story above and ends with these questions:Why didn't CBS News release the clip the moment it became a significant part of a major news story, i.e. the President's big moment in the critical 2nd debate? Why was Sharyl Attkisson told to use another clip that backed up the President and not the one that cast doubt on his claim? Who made the decision? Why did 60 Minutes finally release the clip quietly just hours before the election, weeks after it was newsworthy? What happened to the investigation CBS News President David Rhodes promised? Was it started? Completed? What did it find? Finally, if someone were to say this represented a clear case of intentional bias by 60 Minutes/CBS News--and an important one given that it took place at a critical moment in the election cycle--what would be your response?
