A New Hope: The First High School Tea Party Club in America
David Horowitz's NewsReal Blog ^ | March 1, 2011 | Walter Hudson

It's quite natural for a culture to value its young. Since mortality is an as-yet irreversible aspect of the human condition, our children are the means by which we perpetuate ourselves, preserve who we are, and pass on what we believe.

Given this plain truth, the most discouraging aspect of attending any given conservative event is the sea of silver hair present in just about every crowd. At 32, I often mind myself among the youngest, if not the youngest person in a room.

Reaching our youth with the conservative message is an essential mission. However, in an age where they are bombarded from every direction with the propaganda of the Left, trying to convey the wisdom of elders can be like lighting a match in a hurricane. That is why it is so encouraging to come across young people who already bear a torch for conservatism lit and maintained on their own.

Friday night, I was among several activists gathered in a downtown Phoenix restaurant during a brief intermission of the Tea Party Patriots American Policy Summit. We were already feeling good, having sat through some valuable breakout sessions throughout the afternoon. But none of that held a candle next to the elation we all felt upon meeting The A Team.

No, not the crack commando unit. This A-Team is a cadre of young conservatives from southern California who claim to be "the first high school Tea Party club in America." Together, these young men stand in defiance of expectation. Not only are they high school aged. They are racially and ethnically diverse. More importantly, chatting with them reveals a genuine concern about the world they live in.
