Paris (CNA/EWTN News) — France's leading Muslim organization has called on Muslims to counter radical forms of Islam, especially in the wake of the Islamic State group's attacks on Paris.
The French Council for the Muslim Faith encouraged education of young people to "combat the ideas of hatred within our religion" so they don't turn into "terrorist bombs that want to destroy the values of the Western countries but in reality are destroying Islam's image and the future of Islam in France and Europe."
STATE HOUSE — Without indicating how the Senate is leaning, Senate President Stanley Rosenberg over the weekend referred to the charter school movement as an "experimental approach to education" that should not necessarily be allowed to continue to expand.
After defeating a proposed lift to the charter school cap last session, senators have been engaged in weeks of meetings and talks over whether to again consider an expansion of charter schools, or leave their future in the hands of voters by means of a proposed ballot question in 2016.
