19-year-old Socialist takes seat on Red Bank Regional's Board of Education
Now, Noble said he plans to stand up for his socialist beliefs as a member of the Red Bank Regional school board.
“I'm hoping to bring a different perspective, a left-wing perspective to a board full of capitalists,” he said. “I have a different view point, both as a younger person and a Socialist, that I think could have a positive impact in and of itself.”
Noble campaigned on a laundry list of issues that he would support, such as school sex education courses including lessons on LGBT lifestyles.
But Noble said some of the top issues he will be concerned with as a board of education member will be budget related, such as opposing merit pay for faculty members and fighting harder against budget cuts.
Noble said he would also fight to get military recruitment and other military-related activities banned from school grounds.
“I'm antiwar, absolutely,” he said. “And I'm against poaching high school kids and sending them to the front lines of a war they have nothing to do with, they didn't start and will not benefit from.”
