Arne Duncan, the education secretary, is having his minions look into the little matter of California's Tehachapi Unified School District, his office confirms. The move comes after Wendy Walsh, the mother of 13-year-old Seth who hung himself from a tree and left his mother a suicide note fingering his school for ignoring his torment, teamed up with the ACLU to call bullshit on the district's failure to intervene. Seth told his mother in his note that he wanted her to "make the school feel like shit for bringing you this sorrow."
