The Vox Box

So what is with our leaders?

Ok, so many teens can be empathetic, I think, to Larry Craig. Some I have talked to say, "Who cares if he is gay?" Or, "It would suck to have your life on display like that." Etc...

Others enjoy the laughs... See Jon Stewart's take, here...

What do you guys think? What about the fact he lied and tried to hide his arrest? Is that what you want from your political leaders?



In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
