BOSTON – As a federal investigation continues to probe whether Boston has adequately responded to reported racial incidents in Boston Latin School, student activists have once again posted a video online over the issue, claiming that the climate hasn't improved.
In the video, which follows one posted over the winter that raised public awareness on the topic, the activist group that calls itself Black Leaders Aspiring for Change and Knowledge at BLS singles out the exam school's leader, Headmaster Lynn Mooney Teta. The group claims that Teta has failed to attend lunchtime conversations regarding race and that the administration has never mentioned the group's campaign during school assemblies on the subject:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service said Monday that Republican allegations that he misled congressional investigators probing his agency "are without merit," and said he wouldn't appear at a congressional hearing this week set to examine whether he deserves to be impeached.
John Koskinen, the head of the nation's tax-collection agency, said he hasn't had time to prepare for Tuesday's hearing because of travel and work required for an unrelated hearing, in a letter sent to Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., the chairman of the Judiciary Committee in the House or Representatives. Koskinen, who wasn't subpoenaed to appear, said he would be willing to testify in the future.
