CAMBRIDGE – Earlier this month, more than 100 Harvard University students, both male and female, declared themselves to be feminists at the seventh annual "Feminist Coming Out Day," the Harvard Crimson student newspaper reported, a tradition started by undergraduates to openly discuss what the term means to them.
More than 78 percent of U.S. college women consider themselves feminists, according to a survey released in June by online women's magazine Her Campus. But the publication said that the meaning of feminism today, beyond the basic concept of equal opportunity for men and women, is less clear.
BOSTON – With proponents already investing heavily in a ballot campaign to knock down barriers to more charter schools, opponents of that proposal plan to launch their own ballot committee on Wednesday.
Parents, educators, students and others aligned with The Campaign to Save Our Public Schools gathered outside the State House on Wednesday to make the case that adding more charters will harm education in school districts that they say are already losing too much money to public charter schools.
