FollowI definitely think local elections should be lowered to 16. City/county officials consistently make decisions that affect the lives of teenagers, specifically regarding their education, while ignoring the input of young people.
No one can argue with "What if we insisted that all our schools, for all our children, be safe and encouraging places?" But charter schools (and the wealth and power behind them) are responsible for hoarding resources that could otherwise be equitably used to make all schools good. And they do so while providing results that more often than not are not better than public schools. So, no, we cannot stop fighting about charter schools because they are a barrier to equitable education and anti-democratic.
