TIES WITH ADL PROGRAM SUSPENDED

Boston Globe, MA
Dec 13 2007

The Board of Selectmen has voted to suspend ties with the
Anti-Defamation League’s No Place for Hate program. The town’s
Human Rights Committee recommended the move because the ADL has not
satisfactorily recognized as genocide the killing of 1.5 million
Armenians by the Ottoman Turks during and just after World War I.

Four selectmen voted to suspend the link to the ADL program, which
backs local efforts to fight racism and encourage diversity, while
Selectman James Healy, abstained, saying he did not feel the board
should take up the issue. – Laura M. Colarusso more stories like this
