The 2014 Cross Examination Debate Association's national championship was held at Indiana University. The all African American female team from Towson University defeated the all African American male team from the University of Oklahoma. Though this my be a first for African American women, it is not a real win for women or African Americans, but a loss for collegiate debate specifically and America in general.
I am not sure what the winners won, but it certainly wasn't a debate. In fact, to enable this hallow victory, the very concept of debate was thrown aside. In the name of political correctness and affirmative action, we have destroyed college debate, simply to bestow a meaningless trophy on students who demonstrate no actual debate skills. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad. However it provides a shocking example as to why America is a nation in decline.
WTF?
ReplyDeleteActually this should inspire What An Insult to the other debate teams.
Absolutely insane. I was in the Debating Society at Episcopal High School and thought it was a spoof at first. Damn well should be, that's for sure. Reminds me of monkeys chattering in the trees, no offense to monkeys.......
DeleteDear Lord, what the heck was that? So apparently incessant stuttering, incomplete sentences, hyperventilating and the N-word are now considered debate skills. And it just ticks me off that Donald Sterling mentioned race once, in his home, and gets crucified when people like these "debate teams" are blatantly racist and use the N-word like it was a noun and get rewarded.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that these may very well be future "public leaders" scares the stuff out of me.
Absolutely.
DeleteWhat I heard was a cluster of sentences in search of a thought. If this is what passes for debate at the university level, then any sense of a standard has been abandonded.

DeleteGood description.
I heard the other day an explanation of reasons behind common core and why folks like Jeb Bush and Mike Huckabee are all in behind it. Follow the money!
ReplyDeleteEach child subject to Common Core takes at least 1 test a year in the elementary
grades and 6 test a year in high school. If they fail the test they take it over, multiple times if necessary. The testing company (root of Common Core) gets between $15 and $35 per test.
The whole thing is about money and collection of Meta Data. The test results are not even reported back to the schools except in basically unusable gross results, graphs
and charts. There is no way to use the data to help the children having trouble. The purpose of all of it is to collect data about the children and their families and to route the children into a course of study that helps the "child and the STATE". In other words it's nothing but a methodology to make money and create a generation of good little, obedient worker children who will do as they are told and follow directions instead of thinking on their own.
Very interesting. Thanks.
DeleteLooks like a speed reading competition to me.
ReplyDeleteThey need a little work on their diction. :)
DeleteI kept looking for the "Onion" label.
ReplyDeleteReally. :)
DeleteIf you have any reservation in America’s decline, this will remove all doubt. Here is an example of the very best debate team a University could field and they won. Listening to some of the actual debate made me cry for how far education has fallen. I have heard an actual debate this is not even close.

Pathetic.
Deleteapparently this is a trend in college debating now. The subject is assigned but a bunch such as those two will show up as a debate team. When it's their turn to talk they change from the assigned subject and go on a rant about white privilege or
ReplyDeleteJewish people or some other subject. The liberal professors in charge of the debating will not stand up to them but instead declare them the winners.
Evidently.
DeleteI have heard pigs grunting that made more sense.
ReplyDeleteAt least we do understand that they want to eat.
DeleteMakes you think that Bundy was right. Spot on, right.
