The Great Debaters began their season this weekend with a national tournament at Georgetown Day School. On Friday and Saturday, ninth graders Jackson Lewis, D’Andre Person, Brandon Souverain, and Maxwell Burton participated in six rounds of policy debate arguing that USFG should substantially reduce Foreign Military Sales and/or Direct Commercial Sales of arms from the United States. The students learned arguments that they will hear on the debate circuit and received feedback that will set them up for success throughout the year. The club is advised by reader teacher Ms. Lee-Bey.
