France's National Front in the regional and local elections of Dec. 2015
12/13/2015
The Front wins 28% of the vote in the final round of voting with voter turnout at 59%, higher than normal, with many voters turning out to keep the National Front from winning. The National Front failed to win any regional office. The Socialist Party of Hollande pulled out in some places to make sure Sarkozy's Union for Popular Movement Party won. The Socialist Party won 29% of the vote and Sarkozy's UMP won 41% of the vote. The National Front has called for tougher action against terrorist activity, and the Socialist Party has adopted some measures including stripping Franch nationals with dual citizenship of their French citizenship if suspected of supporting terrorists.

President Obama Signs Into Law a Rewrite of No Child Left Behind
New York Times 12/10/15
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
