The Jena 6 Falsehoods

The Christian Science Monitor is one of America's most respected national newspapers and while it definitely leans left (they are journalists, after all), I can't recall ever seeing anything obviously dishonest or misleading in it. So this article that they carried October 24, 2007 by a newspaper report in Jena, Louisiana, is really quite startling. Worth reading in full, especially if you think you know the story of the Jena 6. What he has to say matches what I have been able to find in just about every source that isn't trying to play the race card.
