Over Achieving CHS Student Works For Peace

by The Editors on September 24, 2007

21 52 319 23 07Carlsbad High School’s Kaylee Weil has the classic earmarks of a motivated world dominator. The 17 year old is ranked first in her class of 800, she is the editor of the school newspaper, “studies calculus” and hopes to attend Stanford or Dartmouth, but that’s not all, according to a profile in the North County Times.

Weil said she spends as much time as she can working with “pro-peace” organizations. “I think a lot of students my age mistake peace for anti-war,” she said. “Those aren’t synonyms.” . . . For about a year, the 17-year-old has been involved with such groups as Kids for Peace, which is a parent-driven program; Americans for the Department of Peace, which advocates for the passage of a bill to create a cabinet-level U.S. Department of Peace; and the Student Peace Alliance, which is a student organization.

Anyone who can honestly say that “Peace” and “anti-war” aren’t synonyms has an extremely bright future in politics. That’s for certain.
