I would like to thank Sen. Gruenhagen for this opportunity to share my favorite Catholic school sex ed story.

Thank you Sen. Gruenhagen, you asked for it.

Downtown Minneapolis park benches are covered with brand-new hats, gloves, blankets and boots for anyone who needs them. A lot of the donations are child-sized. Which is probably more heartbreaking than heartwarming.
