In a new op-ed for the Las Vegas Sun, Democracy Prep CEO Natasha Trivers and Civics Program Director Rashid Duroseau write about embracing sensitive issues in the classroom. "Engaging with political issues in a balanced and thoughtful way is vital for preparing students to interact with the world. Without this, young people may find themselves ill-prepared to face the complexities of our society," they write.

It’s Election Day! And I am proud to say at Democracy Prep Public Schools, we’re closed so our community can vote and make their voices heard. 100% of eligible voters in our student body are registered to vote. Many staff and students are taking elderly family members to the polls. We are doing our civic duty and building on a rich legacy of every day citizens who have changed the world!
