2007 Sun Youth Forum Roundup
By Emily Richmond · November 21st, 2007 ·
Should the gaming industry have to pay higher taxes to raise funding for schools? How is Southern Nevada managing growth? And do you think Las Vegas would benefit from a major league sports team?
These are just a few of the questions debated by the best and the brightest of Southern Nevada’s high school students at the 2007 Sun Youth Forum. More than 950 students from 45 high schools took part in the forum, held Tuesday at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
And many of their answers suggest that adults should stop worrying so much about the values and concerns of today’s youth. Judging by the high quality of the debate and students’ thoughtful responses, it appears that our future may be in very good hands.
