Although not many Sequoits are able to vote this November, students seem to be split between political parties and ideologies.

November is voting month, and Antioch Community High School, like with anything else, is split politically between the democratic and republican parties.

The majority parties for the ACHS student body go as follows: 50 percent of freshmen are republican, 43 percent of sophomores are republican, juniors are 37 percent independent and seniors are 80 percent democrat and republican. Of the 29 percent that sided with the democrats, 1/3 did not understand what the democratic party stands for today. The democrats stand for a larger federal government, higher taxes and less state control. The republicans are the opposites with lower taxes, a smaller federal government and more state control.

The argument of which side is correct has been raging on for over 200 years, but the truth is, both are correct and both are wrong. In this day and age, both parties have their advantages and disadvantages.
