Amazingly, I live very near and go to work daily in Bloomington and I've never heard of the Mayer situation. Undoubtedly, there is more to the story than is being told because traditionally Bloomington and Monroe County in general are very liberal and a given to vote Democratic in every election. With a major liberal arts college [Indiana University] in town you could expect nothing less. Nevertheless, politics aren't why we send our children to school, particularly grade school. No wonder our schools are trailing the rest of the world in the core subjects, it seems our teachers are more worried about spewing political bullshit than teaching.
