Kids are being taught that to win debate, you only need to scream the loudest.
This is not some high school debate in Wokesville, CA or something. This is the NATIONAL high school debate championship.
The topic to be debated was IMF policy. But "Team A refused to debate the assigned topic, which was the benefits/costs of the IMF because they alleged that trans people are being genocided by MAGA Republicans and that is way more important than the debate."
Even worse, Team B conceded rather than be labeled transphobic.
EVEN WORSE, the judges praised Team A and awarded them national champions
