Feda Morton, the only woman in the race, has been a teacher, a state-championship basketball coach, a school-board member and a Republican organizer. A diminutive mother of five sporting a sparkling flag pin, she fidgeted as she recited the merits of her candidacy in an interview with TIME. When the topic turned to Barack Obama, she confessed deep fears. "I don't think the President really cares about our health care," Morton says. "He's not trying to lead America. He's trying to position himself to be a leader higher up, and the only...
Lelic’s plotline centers on a school shooting in which Mr. Szajkowski—a teacher who everyone agrees was always strange—walks into a school assembly and opens fire on students and teachers alike.

...disenchanted Muslim youth are resonant Again, there is some truth to the idea that that veils often mark out some—although by no means all—Muslims who feel especially strongly about their faith. But just like it is unfair to assume that a veiled woman is oppressed, it is unfair to assume that a religious woman is a radical. In the 2004 law governing religious symbols in state schools, in addition to veils France banned large Christian crosses, Sikh turbans and Jewish yarmulkes. Yet none of these symbols are being considered dangerous indicators of radicalization...
