"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."
I like this idea but to get the vocational training off the ground I think they would need to start in junior year
I don't know if it is a national thing, but in ME you can start (or can't start until) vocational training 11th grade in conjunction with regular HS classes. www.mainecte.org/
It's not done at all in my school district and I'm appalled it's not offered. I'm glad to see local and federal leaders taking this more seriously
As a 16-year-old, Langevin was critically injured while working with the Warwick Police Department in the Boy Scout Explorer program. A veteran officer handling a .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol, not realizing a round rested in the chamber, pulled the trigger, bouncing a bullet off a metal locker and striking the teenager in the neck, severing his spinal cord.
Langevin, the first quadriplegic to serve in the House of Representatives, is leading an effort to persuade lawmakers to give their guest pass to a victim of gun violence. Since the president is expected to address gun violence during his speech, Langevin told Karl that he wanted to be sure there was a “heavy presence” of people who have been directly affected by gun violence in order “to really put a human face on the tragedy of gun violence.”

So far, I am most excited about public preschool, minimum wage increase, and adequate vocational training in high school. I hope some of this comes to pass.
