NOTES
Editor's Note: Dec 24 2012 Hello! Hola! Bonjour! Hej! Marhaba! Wapendwa! Hallo! Welcome to High School News! It goes without saying that this is a new age, not only socially, but economically and politically. The 99% has given a reason for politicians and lawmakers to listen, and the 2012 election proved that no amount of wealthy donors and vicious lies could penetrate the ingenuity of the middle class. We feel very optimistic about our future, because of people like you! Staying up to date and expressing your opinion is... continue reading...

Editor's Note: Apr 18 2012 POST YOUR HIGH SCHOOL WALKOUT AS AN EVENT! HS Student Walkout: May 1st While the teacher talks in front of the class, I leaf through an old Time Magazine issue from October last year: Occupy was just hitting the streets, folks were rushing to call it the start of a "much needed, Second American Revolution". The scramble to comment on the "phenomena" makes me laugh becuase they have no idea where it came from... Whether it was UC Santa Cruz students in '09 occupying Admin buildings in... continue reading...

Editor's Note: Oct 24 2011 NOTE from High School Newspaper Staff:  Dylan Fitzwater, Olivia Lawrence-Weilmann, Stefan Stackhouse, John Stuart, & Elan Goldman  They say the economy is recovering.

Then we at least could have slept in for awhile.  Fixing the... continue reading...

Editor's Note: Jun 20 2011 After Netroots Nation As some of you may know, the High School Newspaper team attended the progressive media conference called Netroots Nation this past weekend. I have to say, it was an uplifting and inspiring experience for us. After seeing all those progressive people together in one place, organizing and connecting, I can now say with certainty that we are not alone.  There are people from all walks of life, from many different cultures, who have a message and are ready to make a... continue reading...

Editor's Note: Mar 22 2011 March 22, 2011 Alright, so you've probably heard all the talk about Wisconsin and Michigan lately; if not, you should check out what's going on!  I was so inspired by what I was hearing that I decided to go to Madison and Lansing myself to film and participate in the protests. I was supremely impressed by what I saw and the people I talked to. The energy in both cities was incredible, nothing like I have ever experienced before.  I was lucky enough to be in Madison for a huge protest... continue reading...

Mike's Note: Feb 18 2011 Hey High School Students: How inspired are you by the thousands of students from Wisconsin high schools who began walking out of class four days ago and have now occupied the State Capitol building and its grounds in Madison, demanding that the governor stop his assault on teachers and other government workers? I have to say it's one of the most exciting things I've seen in years. We are, right now, living in an amazing moment of history. And this moment has happened because the youth around... continue reading...
