Our friends from @atlantadebate and @emorydebate came to teach our @WAMiddleSchool team today. They were so helpful, and we learned a ton!

@woodwarddebate @emorydebate @WAMiddleSchool Happy to hear our team was helpful! We love AUDL site visits.

In case you missed it over the weekend this is a great piece on why more academic debate may be exactly what society needs to combat political polarization. nytimes.com/2022/09/11/opi…

We are excited to start the DDC this week! Join us tomorrow from 5:00-6:00 p.m. We will be going over the evidence and arguments. We will cover the Pandemic Affirmative available to all MS and HS divisions. Bring your questions about the evidence! Ask your coach for the link.
