Newark Teens Gear Up for School Board Elections After Voting Age Extended to 16 This month for the first time, 16- and 17-year olds will help decide Newark’s school board members thanks to a measure passed last year, just the third reform of its kind in the nation.

Newark is about to become just the third city in the nation, and the first in New Jersey, to allow 16- and 17-year olds to vote in school board elections.

Not to get all political on you but actually I do think you should be talking to people you know about this

i think people who complain about the language police are, by and large, just cowards. say whatever you want! no one is going to stop you. but people may judge you or even, if you say the wrong thing in front of the wrong person, pop you in the mouth. but that’s life!

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is.

Know your rights. Pass these around…

Can’t wait t’git my hands on nem cheap eggs!

very excited to see what happens when you make a deeply compromised addict the leader of the department of defense and subordinate to a madman
