If you were elected president, what are the first things you’d change?
Crenshaw Charter High students give their opinions on what they would change if they were elected president.
"I’d take away hate crimes and racism."
—Christin Chapple, 15, sophomore
"I’d get rid of abortion, because it is not fair for the babies to die. They didn’t ask to come here. It’s simple—if you don’t want a baby then just use protection."
—Raquel Amaya, 17, senior
"I’d give everyone an equal chance to do what they want to do and be whatever you want to be."
—Trayvon Brown, 15, sophomore
"I’d put a stop to war, cease welfare and have better schools with the best of teachers and the best fresh food for everyone."
—Markeithe Jackson, 15, sophomore
"I’d eliminate the tobacco industry, because a lot of people are dying from it."
—Christopher Jean, 15, sophomore
"I’d stop gangs, because there are too many killings."
—Jovani Elliston, 16, junior
"When people come out of jail and can’t find work, I’d find them a job. I see how people can’t get jobs when they get out of jail and it’s sad. This would give them a second chance."
—Jenifer Mickelbury, 15, sophomore
"I’d change the death penalty. How does jail have the right to kill you?"
—Tiane Odum, 16, junior
"I’d change college tuition. I’d lower it, so all people could afford it."
—Jacob Membreno, 17, senior
