Comment text: If they suspended and expelled more students for bullying, the test scores would go up astronomically as students would feel more safe in their learning environment. Check the local community facebook pages and ask some of the parents. I guarantee you, I’m not the only one that feels this way.

I would like to commend Rachael Dahl and the Fallon post for their article. Civics 101. This is a reminder that we as citizens live in a representative form of government and why it is so important that we vote as voting is our way of making our voice heard.
