"They're trying to fool you. They're trying to scare you and they're not telling the truth," a fired-up Obama declared while campaigning in South Dakota. "But it's not going to work. Both Bush and McCain represent the failed foreign policy and fear mongering of the past," Obama said. "I believe the American people are ready to reject this approach and to choose the future."

I don't know how unusual these kinds of things are. When I was in junior high, a girl named Cami would let boys do things to her on the back of the school bus. This went on for several weeks without anyone telling their parents or teachers. It escalated to the point where the girl was being penetrated with foreign objects.
The bus driver either didn't notice or didn't care. Finally a child told his parents what was happening and the girl and a couple of boys who were identified as participating were expelled from school. The bus driver was fired.
I'm sure that if this had happened today it would have been in the newspapers. In 1974, it was not the kind of thing that was made public.
I remember that when this was happening I was puzzled by it and uncomfortable when other kids were talking about "what Cami did on the bus." But, I'd never had a discussion about that kind of thing with my parents and didn't know how wrong it was.

FWIW, someone at usdoj.gov followed went from this page to my site, via the trackback link.
Just a heads-up.
Kinda creeped me out; though I guess they could have been searching for keywords like "high school" and "sex".
