Here is an interesting article about something going on in our public schools. This also touches upon the issue of how we as a community are responding to this relatively new wave of immigrants to our community.

Hmong culture's a key subject for St. Paul students http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/4354484.html
"In a nod to the growing number and prominence of Hmong families in the district, St. Paul is meshing Hmong culture into its social studies curriculum in kindergarten through third grade. National experts are hailing that move, and other district efforts to reach out to Hmong students, as an extraordinary effort to boost the achievement of English-language learners.
"I know of no other district making connections to this extent," said Roland Tharp, director of the Center for Research on Education, Diversity and Excellence at the University of California, Santa Cruz."
