As found in the basic structure of our country, the Declaration Of Independence “When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another.” This statement rings true to this day. The student council at RFHS seems to think that they are above the law of the school. This is simply inexcusable. Firstly, taking over the pod areas which are a structured learning environment for all impacts flexible collaboration and development of social skills. Secondly, although they mean well, the student council seems to ignore the will and wishes of the “non-elite” student body, whom they represent. As an adult, you get to vote for your elected officials and for some reason us as students do not get the right to decide who represents us in student council. I am proposing a radical restructuring of the student council, including a reset to who is in charge, to reinvigorate and get new blood into positions of power and leadership.
