On National Speech & Debate Day

from In the Bin · host Dr. Steve Llano, Rhetoric Professor

We should be praising the Senate's designation of National Speech & Debate day, right? There are some serious reservations we should consider here. Exactly what is being praised? Is this the model of debate and oratory we want to forward in the world? I critique "Speech & Debate" as well as the NSDA model, and discuss some of the issues I have with the recent Dallas Morning News Editorial praising debate as part of the future school curriculum.
