Texas Teen Eagles have Teen Track event

This triathlon doesn't use the traditional three activities (running, cycling and swimming), but instead has a bit more unusual event areas:
  1. Academics: Courses and shorter studies that relate to the Constitution and the Worldview/Culture war in which the Constitution is a central battleground.
  2. Articulation: The presentations of persuasive speeches and moot court argumentation focusing on the hot issues, court decisions, etc.
  3. Activism: Projects in which students put into action the knowledge and skills they have acquired with emphasis on "teens teaching teens."
Participants came to Plano, TX from a wide ares ranging from San Antonio to Southern Oklahoma to participate in moot court presentations, give skits explaining landmark court decisions, judge events involving audience participation and a multitude of other duties necessary to conducting a large two-day event for teens.  Eagle Forum gives a big thanks to AnnaGrace Sloan, Dr. Virginia Armstrong and the Blackstone Institute for doing their part to raise young patriots.
