Welcome to the Debate Homepage


This site is about the original, the only real debate: CX or Policy debate, depending on where you are from. If you are into speech, LD or parlimentary; well, go look somewhere else. Right now I will just have the resolution, caselist and links to news sites and debate related sites. Eventually I will put up a section where I will have articles related to debate, both submitted by others and written by me. So, submit your articles to such_is_mango@angelfire.com.
So here is the resolution. "Resolved: That the federal government should establish an education policy to significantly increase academic achievement in secondary schools in the United States."
