    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
