BOSTON — A pair of Jewish Wheelock College professors have taken the school and its recently retired president to federal court, alleging in an explosive lawsuit filed Thursday that they were subjected to a host of anti-Semitic discrimination measures.
Professors Gail Dines and Eric Silverman in their dual complaints allege that Wheelock's president, Jackie Jenkins-Scott, worked with other administrators to smear their reputations, beginning when Dines and Silverman apparently dared to question why they were not included in a 2014 school-sponsored event dubbed "The Black-Jew Dialogues," a diversity and cultural awareness event.
STATE HOUSE — With less than eight weeks until voters decide whether to legalize the adult use of marijuana in Massachusetts, Transportation Secretary Stephanie Pollack said Wednesday she is concerned that there is currently no way for police to test if a driver is under the influence of marijuana.
"One of the concerns with marijuana is, it is clear at some point, you are impaired … but we don't have a test like we do for alcohol," Pollack said on Boston Herald Radio. "If the initiative passes, how are we going to be able to enforce the under the influence law?"
