Appeals Court To Decide Whether Howard County Can Let Children Vote For School Board
Oral arguments began in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday in a case determining whether a Maryland county can authorize children attending public schools to vote for school board.Filed by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) in March 2021, the lawsuit in question contends that Howard County’s allowance of 6th-11th graders to elect a full voting student member of the locality’s board of education constitutes a direct violation of the First and 14th Amendments.
A district court previously dismissed PILF’s suit in November 2022
Democrat-controlled municipalities in Maryland and California have passed legislation permitting minors as young as 16 to vote in local elections. Meanwhile, Democrat states such as Michigan have changed their laws to allow 16-year-olds to pre-register to vote so that they’ll be eligible to “automatically … cast their ballot in the first election following their 18th birthday.”
Some important parts of the brain aren’t fully developed until your mid-20s.

Children shouldn't vote, but the mechanics of voting should be taught in Civics classes, depending on the County where they live.
They could be introduced to the questions and discuss the process. They could learn about the different courts.
There are many things they could learn by the time they are 12, and some things before then.
All they learn now is useless information.
My headline is accurate...any implication you derived from it is in your mind.
Children shouldn't be voting for anything, anonymous at 7:15pm. It's so liberal of them allowing a child to be on a school board as well as some states allowing 16 year olds to vote in general elections.
If Lynn Anderson was in charge of things, high school homecoming kings and queens would disappear because children shouldn't be voting.
What a crabby and miserable woman you are.
@8:55...LOL
This is so typical of Democrats.
Attempting to equate a political school board that makes decisions and are responsible for crafting the overall educational vision of a district’s public schools, from setting a school’s curriculum, to creating and upholding board policy, to electing school officials and overseeing administrators to a homecoming Queen vote.
How silly is that?
About as silly as most everything Democrats do..
They're voting for the student rep for the school board, Lynn. The student rep!
Sheesh. Lighten up. I bet if you lived in a house you would stand out in the yard and yell at the neighborhood kids all day.
Well, you would lose but Democrats are losers, that we all know.
They are losers in many ways, because without God many are going to hell so many today are slaves to the devil.
