Youth In Government

The 65th Annual Tennessee YMCA Youth In Government Capitol Conference was held March 1-4, 2018 in the State Capitol in Nashville. Clarksville Academy had 29 delegates participate in the Youth Legislature conference. Students gained experience learning how our Tennessee state government works via a four day mock government session. This was the very first conference to use the beautiful, newly renovated, Cordell Hull facilities in conjunction with using the state capitol.

Our keynote speaker for the opening ceremony of the joint session of the assembly was a former federal judge who spoke about criminal cases that he adjudicated in Clarksville and how mandatory minimum sentences are applied to everyone associated with a crime even if one may have played a minor role in the crime. One crime case in particular that he pointed out was of a 23 year old man who was given a mandatory life sentence for having played a minor role in a drug related crime. Addressing 615 youth legislators from around the state he stated that, as a legislator, this process is not about you and how many times you stand in front of the group to speak, but rather it’s about fighting for what you feel passionate about, and fighting in a way that will want to make others join you in your fight. The guest speaker, appointed to a lifetime, highly lauded position, chose to resign as judge so he could fight for and promote civil rights due to the injustices he was seeing from his former position as a federal judge.

Outstanding Bill Awards went to the Red House team of Cheyenne Deibert, Jacob Hay, and Chris Magrans for their bill which was An Act to Establish an Identity Theft Passport Program and the Red Senate team of Hunter Farrell and Taylor Kazinski for their bill Adding Therapists to Schools to Help Prevent Suicide. The lawyer team of Pryce O’Connor and Morgan Ozanne argued three cases in the State Supreme Court and won all three cases. Maggie Clark was elected to be Red Speaker Pro-tempore of the House in 2019 and Ben Truex was appointed to be the Video Editor of the 2019 Press Corps.
