MIssion & Objectives
•The TEA Party movement continues to develop various organizations, PAC’s, missions, etc., which have been focused on the adult voter
•Challenges to this approach abound as the proliferation of “national” and “regional” organizations claim leadership positions in the movement
•However, the overarching effort to organize and educate these adults has left out the youth from 8th grade to 12th grade.
•Many school curriculums teach a “multiculturalist” approach to our history, our founders and founding documents and lean towards a liberal view of politics
•Children are seen to be indoctrinated at times in the name of “tolerance” and therefore are being taught concepts that are antagonistic to conservative principles or worse
•Furthermore, activities in the schools do not encourage a focus on those conservative principles and exercises do not demonstrate conservatism in action
•Since the inception of the TEA Party movement, more people have become aware of the challenges to engaging their children in conservative principles in the largely liberal environments of our educational system
•The Memphis TEA Party is proposing the establishment of the “Green TEA Patriots” to form extracurricular clubs throughout our junior high and high schools in the US as well as in churches or other appropriate public and safe venues
•Focus on after school first
•Leverage church and private school relationships second
•Extend to public locations, such as libraries or community centers as opportunity and scale permits
•The Green TEA Patriots symbolizes the youth of TEA Party movement members, participants, activists and their families while addressing conservative principles through an after school club organization
