Can they age out?

Sort of.  Once they are old enough, they are allowed to drop out of high school, but they can only get the diploma if they have enough credits and fulfill all the requirements.

Right, but in some places the school can drop the student after a certain age, or transfer them to an alternate program. Is that the case there? I think it's something to do with how the law is written in each location - Like, some state's laws say "12 years of public instruction" and others say "public instruction up to age 18" (or whatever the age happens to be). In the former, students are allowed to keep trying until they finish, in the later there is (theoretically) the possibility of being dismissed for lack of achievement.

Wow, Stewart! The murdering, torture, and illegal arrest of thousands of innocent people is perfectly ok in your mind.

And also, he apparently thinks that morality can change the laws of economics.

EDIT: Finished watching it. He should have told Stewart that Robert E. Lee was an Abolitionist and watched his head go asplodey!

I have always been of the opinion that without a fiduciary system you are relegated to barter anyway. Before the fed, money was back by gold and silver. That is to say that money was literally a note for gold/silver which could be redeemed at any time for gold/silver. (So you were bartering gold/silver for goods). Many anarcho-communists believe that there would have to be an interstitial period of mutualism (workers retain all of what they produce) + a barter economy in place. I am of that opinion. Like I've said a million times. Anarchism was a political philosophy founded on worker's rights. You have yet to convince me that anarcho-capitalism even deigns to consider the issue from the vantage of the worker. But it does make me giggle to fantasize about owning a herd of ancaps to dance and juggle for my amusement. I could still be convinced this anarcho-capitalism is in my best interests. How much does an ancap go for on the free market?

Fail for the severe lack of evidence for those claims.

He simply doesn't understand what "barter" means. The whole point of using gold was that it was a universal store of value and medium of exchange, so you don't HAVE to barter. You would only be bartering for the gold if you wanted the gold for something other than its use for making economic exchanges.

So, he wants you to ONLY be able to purchase something from someone who happens to have what you need.

As I read the current regulations on the matter (http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/document/policy/os/ONSchools.pdf) it appears there is no limit to how long a person can take to complete the diploma requirements, and a person who didn't and dropped out can always return later to finish them, or to complete required courses for post-secondary education, apprenticeships, etc. I don't seem to be able to find anything that says a person can be required to do so through the Adult Education services of the school board instead of regular classes.

number of minimum wage jobs increased.

WELL DUH? It's illegal to pay anyone bellow that so OF COURSE they are going to grow.

What about the jobs that used to pay bellow the minimum?

Sure. Why did San Jose need to increase the minimum wage to get that result?

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the source for this graphic's claims, but I did find an interesting study which shows (among other things) that both CA and US unemployment went down over the past year at roughly the same rate as San Jose. Moreover, unemployment has been going down since it peaked in 2009. So why did San Jose need to increase the minimum wage last year to reduce unemployment when (1) the rest of the country didn't, and (2) it was already going down?

Based on this data, I'm thinking that if I saw this graphic's source, I'd see similar trends with the "minimum wage jobs" and "businesses created" the graphic mentions. Or, just as likely, I wouldn't see comparative state/country data at all.
