Sudan pardons teddy bear teacher (Now I just wish they would stop the killing in Darfur)

Good news: The teacher who had been sentenced to 15 days in prison in Sudan was released today, and the Sudanese president has issued her a pardon.

Gillian Gibbons had received the sentence for allowing her class of 7-year-olds to name a teddy bear "Muhammed".

The government of Sudan did the right thing here.

Now we just need them to stop enabling the genocide in Sudan's Darfur region.
