Watch Video and Read Declaration

Today I spoke with some very good third grade students in Council Rock, Pennsylvania about U.S. Government. Watch the video.

We also worked together to write our own Declaration of Independence:
1. Because of our lack of rights, we are dependent on adults and thus vulnerable to being bossed around.


2. Without the right to vote, we lack a medium to share our opinions.

3. We’re part of the population too, and we’ll be affected by the laws and decisions that elected candidates make.

4. Adults have the right to choose to go to bed whenever they want to—we want freedom in time of sleep too!
