Since coming to power in 2002, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) has sought to reshape education around what it describes as 'national identity' and 'spiritual values.' Critics, including opposition parties, secular groups, and teachers' union, say the reforms have expanded the role of religion in public education.
Speaking at the Museum of the Bible earlier today, Donald Trump appeared to minimize the severity of domestic violence, complaining that it is a crime "if a man has a little fight with the wife." He was saying that crime has decreased since his federal takeover of D.C., claiming that statistics show crime is down 87% but that in reality, crime is down "more than 87%." The reason that he's not getting credit for crime being down even further, he claimed, is that there are things that are counted as crimes that should not be. Like domestic violence.
