LOS ANGELES — The federal government unlocked a treasure trove of U.S. history Monday, allowing researchers, genealogists and the public free online access to detailed information from the 1940 census.

Every 10 years, a decennial census becomes public, once a legally required 72-year waiting period has elapsed. But this one is different, officials say, not least because it's the first time the records have been made available online.

This whole week students have been encouraged to register to vote if they are already eighteen, or will be eighteen by November, to help our school by voting for prop 1522.

Proposition 1522 would generate about $3.5 billion for schools in California annually by imposing a 15% fee on the extraction of natural resources. This money actually belongs to the people of California, and not the oil corporations. By closing the oil extraction tax loophole, this could help our education in so many good ways that teachers would be put back to work, kindergarten through twelve grade classrooms would not be overcrowded, class sections would be reintroduced in all types of California colleges, tuition in Community Colleges would be able to be free again, and CSU and UCs would be affordable to students.
