As annoying as they were, debate students were some of my favorite students. They were smart. They were informed. They would argue with a wall, but their discussions would offer insight and clarity far beyond their years. Many of them sought to be lawyers and that's important, because we need good lawyers clarifying the strange, chaotic world in which we find ourselves.
Knowing all that, imagine my dismay at this story. The erosion of any sort of measured debate in regional and national debate competitions is tragic in ways I can't easily articulate. In many aspect, this is even more tragic than the hideous atrocities of transgenderism as they are seeking to warp young vibrant minds into conformity to their ESG/DEI worldview. This is wrong on so many levels. But read it and decide for yourself.
