The Declaration of Equal Rights

This declaration states that all people are entitled to equal and civil rights. As seen throughout history, we as a nation and world have struggled with the distribution of equal rights to all human beings, especially women. “Globally, women make up just 22% of parliamentarians” (Source: Inter-Parliamentary Union 2014), while the pay gap between men […]

Declaration of Vermont Independence

Greetings fellow Vermonters; I present to you the document of Vermont’s new independence from the United States of America. Let’s face it, the US is a sinking ship — Donald Trump is a serious presidential candidate, NASA is as funded as a twelve-year-old’s 401k, and the Kardashians are still relevant. Obviously a breakup of the […]

Declaration of Video Game Design Courses in High School

Video Games — and video game design courses — need to be encouraged in high schools, rather than suppressed.  Why? Because these games can be shared and enjoyed by anyone, regardless of any language barriers. Video games can be a virtual world with unlimited possibilities, with no physical harm to others. The gaming industry has become a […]

Declaration of Planned Parenthood Rights

The organization provides help and information about abortion, birth control, general health care, women’s health, pregnancy, sex, and STD’s. This is information some women don’t have access […]

Never again will we see a parent treating a beautiful toddler as a prisoner. Violence and domination that are illegal from adult to adult will also be illegal […]

Declaration on the State of American Dependence

Although a private and not a public citizen, I declare the historic “Constitution of the United States” to be outdated and unable to adequately serve the modern needs of society. If enough leaders in government were in any way competent to fight social problems, then the Constitution would really not be so outdated. This very day […]

Declaration of Having a Later School Start Time

My school’s starting time of 8 a.m. everyday is too early. Students need more time to sleep, so they shouldn’t have to wake up so early. Students are showing up to school tired and sometimes even falling asleep in class. This lack of sleep is causing students to focus less and causing them to do […]

The importance of preventing climate change

We only have have one earth. No one person(s) or company(s) has a right to destroy nature. We are all responsible for this planet. Future generations will be dealing with the consequences of the decisions we make now.   Most scientists have come to the consensus that pollution/greenhouse gases build up in the atmosphere of […]
