About

Each week, we will look at controversial topics, learn about recent news, and implement that knowledge into actual debates that we will do i n class. This series is for people who want to learn how to debate or learn tricks and tips to become better at it! So this series is specifically for beginners. If you already know a decent amount of debate, then I'd say this place isn't really for you!
