BURLINGTON, Vt. — For the second year in a row, the University of Vermont will be spending taxpayer dollars on a retreat aimed at helping white students grapple with the privileges associated with being white.
The school noted on its website that it's "excited to announce Examining White Identity: A Retreat for Undergraduate Students Who Self-Identify as White," which it describes as a "new retreat specifically for white students to engage in building a stronger and inclusive campus community."
BOSTON — Attorney General Maura Healey may have shown herself to be a worthy foe to the firearms industry, but gun manufacturers have shown they are game when it comes to taking to the courts to fight back.
Remington Arms, the North Carolina-based gun giant, is the latest company to take on Healey. Earlier this week Remington filed a civil suit in Suffolk County Superior Court against Healey, alleging her office is conducting a "fishing expedition" under the guise of consumer gun safety, according to a Boston Business Journal report.
