Teachers and schools are helping students in their push to boost youth voter turnout in the state. Amber Graeber, an AP government and politics teacher at Roosevelt High School in Des Moines, hosted a mock caucus in her classroom in order to stimulate the experience, in addition to helping students register to vote in class, and sending forms home, too, with the added benefit of encouraging students’ families to register to vote. The school has been a political hub, with Pete Buttigieg holding a campaign event on the front lawn, Elizabeth Warren speaking at a student assembly, and students organizing a forum for six presidential candidates. In one class, Graeber said, Buttigieg won the mock caucus, with Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren coming in second and third place; in the other, Sanders and Warren came out on top, followed by Andrew Yang. “This is really an exercise in civic discourse,” Graeber toldTeen Vogue stripped of his committee assignments in 2019 after defending white nationalism The student trustee positions were previously agreed upon by school administrators and studentsduring a 2018 sit-in ” At one point, the girls are shown naked with hurtful words written on their skin, meant to represent things they’ve been called in the past — but no longer take to heart.
