The Inquirer reports instead that “it is focused on whether hundreds of Turkish teachers, administrators, and other staffers employed under the H1B visa program are misusing taxpayer money.” # According to a Turkish newspaper , a 2005 U.S

Florida county holds spirited forum over abstinence-only sex ed

Florida county holds spirited forum over abstinence-only sex ed

The Manatee Tiger Bay Club last week hosted a discussion about the county’s sex education policies and what members see as the failure of abstinence-only polices in their schools. As previously reported, Manatee County addressed a significant rise in teen pregnancy in the county last year by opening up its sex education policy to include a curriculum that moved beyond “abstinence-only” information. At the time, county officials blamed the limited curriculum, among other factors, for the sharp rise in teen pregnancy rates.

Former congressman Tancredo solicits support for Alabama immigration law

Former congressman Tancredo solicits support for Alabama immigration law

As Alabama has supplanted Arizona as the state with the strictest immigration laws, it’s no surprise that it is also gathering supporters and opponents from all over the world. The latest out of state group to weigh in is Colorado’s Team America, led by former congressman Tom Tancredo. From an email Tancredo sent supporters this week: Alabama’s new immigration law, which passed its legislature this June, is the strongest and strictest immigration law in the nation … … and for that reason it is being opposed with incredible ferocity by the Hispanic lobby, corrupt business interests and the open-borders Obama Justice Department! … The law also forbids transactions between illegal aliens and any division of state government.
