美国中学生是如何参政议政的?

美国中学生是如何参政议政的?
陈 强
在美国,具政治属性的青年组织并不多见,但带宗教背景的青年社会服务团体却比比皆是。基督教青年会(YMCA)便是影响力较大的一个。
YMCA是一个以基督精神感召青年,提倡志愿服务社会的非赢利、非政府青年组织,但它十分注重对青年学生参政议政能力的培养。除个别州外,美国的40多个州都有由YMCA赞助的“青年政府”(Youth In Government,简称YIG),让中学生来模拟政府运作,学习行使民主权利,锻炼领导才干,激发他们的公民责任感。
美国的州政府与联邦政府一样,设有行政、立法及司法三部门。“青年政府”同样也是三权鼎立。据在密苏里州“青年政府”任职的12年级(相当于高三)华人学生徐夏叶介绍,9-12年级的学生都可以报名参加“青年政府”的活动。类似于美国的民主党和共和党,学生们也分成两个党派,分别叫联合人民党和新党。他们先在各自的党内竞选――组织竞选班子,起草施政纲领,进行竞选辨论、投票,获胜者将代表本党和反对党角逐州长、议员等职位。
