Don't know if you'all know about it, but there is a revolution going on in Newark, led by 14-17 year olds.
The Newark Student Union has been in the streets all this week, in opposition to Christie-imposed plan of "OneNewark" and in favor of local control of schools.
The students decided not to go to school, they are sitting down in the street, blocking the entrance to schools.

great photos and the story at this link:

They conducted workshops on "know your rights" and held general assemblies.

Wonder where they got that idea..
