Turkish police fire smoke grenades and water cannons at stone-throwing protesters in Ankara.<br/> <br />It is the second day of demonstrations against a government attempt to push a new education bill through parliament this week. Secular parties say the bill promotes Islamic schooling.<br/> <br />The government wants to overturn a 1997 law that kept students under 15 years old from attending religious "imam hatip" schools.<br/> <br />That law led to a sharp decline in attendance at the schools, which were originally set up to train Muslim clerics.<br/> <br />Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan and nearly half of his cabinet members were educated in the religious schools.<br/> <br />Katharine Jackson, Reuters.
