What about the Jena 6?

After reading the story in your past issue about Michael Vick and celebrity favorites, another important question occurred to me: why hasn't there been any story printed about the Jena 6? It is obviously an important issue. It's also obvious that the mainstream news isn't going to address the issue publicly, but why do we have to do the same? Why ignore the more important issue, that racism is still physically and emotionally oppressing people, to instead focus on Paris and Britney? Doesn't the Jena 6 Story relate to human rights? I do believe so.
