Linden, New Jersey, Mayor Derek Armstead has apologized for making disparaging remarks about Hasidic Jews. In a secretly recorded conversation between Armstead and local Board of Education President Marlene Berghammer, Berghammer said, "If it's in a neighborhood school district, it should be, we don't mind if it is a black person or a Haitian-speaking person." Armstead replies, "That is what has to happen in order to keep our community from being taken over by guys with big hats and curls," an apparent reference to the city's growing Hasidic Jewish population. Armstead apologized for the remar...

Honey Run Elementary School will once again be known as Ashby-Lee Elementary, while Mountain View High School will go back to being Stonewall Jackson High. Both are in the tow...

While the risk of poverty for Germans without a migration background in f...
