What About the Children? The Victims of Andrea Yates' "Insanity" Go Unmourned

The tragedy of Andrea Yates brutally drowning her children -- 7-year old Noah, 5-year old John, 3-year old Luke, 2-year old Paul and 6 months old Mary -- has been mercilessly extended by a Texas jury letting the murderer go free. Indeed, Andrea Yates is being re-fashioned by the MSM and feminist groups into a post-modern heroine, a "super mom" who just happened to catch a bad disease...or who, perhaps, unwittingly fell victim to what a CBS reporter called "the dark side" of home-schooling.

Kathryn Jean Lopez takes a look at this very disturbing situation in this NRO article.
