ANKARA – The U.S. is scrambling to stop military hostilities between Turkish forces in Syria and the Kurds, a conflict that threatens to detract resources from the fight against ISIS.
Turkish President Recep Erdogan has vowed that his army's operations will continue in Syria against both ISIS and Kurdish forces until neither poses a security threat to his nation, reports the Boston Globe.
In November, Massachusetts residents will vote on Question 2, which, if passed, would allow the State Board of Elementary and Secondary Education to authorize up to 12 new charter schools across the Commonwealth. If more than 12 applications for charter schools are received, the Board would favor schools that would be accessible to students in the lowest-performing school districts in the state.
Gov. Baker supports lifting the cap, as do some Democrat lawmakers. However, the NAACP opposes the increase in charter schools, as do many Democrat lawmakers. In Philadelphia, the DNC made opposition to charter schools part of its platform.
