Kids should be allowed to vote
Riverwind is focused on education. But in the meantime, we also care about youth rights in a more general sense. When you stop to think about it, children are a minority group, and they aren't allowed to vote. Isn't that a recipe for disaster? No wonder that the public school system is so ridiculous. If kids could vote, politicians would have to respond! See this video from the National Youth Rights Association:
