WASHINGTON (AP) — Indiana Democrats voting in the state's primary on Tuesday say they're energized and optimistic about their party's nomination process, while Republicans say they're worried their party is being torn apart.
Three-quarters of Democrats in the state say they've been energized by the nomination contest between former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. But nearly 6 in 10 Republicans say they think their party has been divided by the battle being fought by billionaire Donald Trump, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Ohio Gov. John Kasich.
BOSTON – If efforts to repeal Common Core education standards succeed and the state returns to the old approach used with the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System, or MCAS, tests in place before 2010, it may find itself in good company.
In Michigan, a state Senate committee has advanced a bill that would require dropping Common Core and replacing it with the education standards used in Massachusetts up until 2010.
