Spent my morning in the @speechanddebate Expo Hall. I am truly enjoying hearing from students & educators how much they love @CanvaEdu. So many people who stopped by the table passionately shared stories about their #Canva creations and I even had a few show me their designs.

#SpeechAndDebate the DOJ just may want to read up on it. Lyndsey Graham even used it for actions (inappropriately) in North Carolina with the Brad Raffensburger fiasco where trump tried to organize election interference with large group of co-conspirators.

Still mad about this #SpeechAndDebate #ValueDebate
A hill on which I will die: Running morality as a value premise in Lincoln-Douglas debate is inappropriate. It’s completely circular and is not a value itself. Yes, the fact that it’s empty means you collapse into your value criterion but I still hate it.

To run it because it works with lay judges, I’m going to acknowledge the truth of the statement but then point out you are intentionally coaching your students to run circular moral arguments to achieve a desired end (breaking).
Do better.

The local informative speaking circuit is stacked. We have the person who got 3rd at Nats last year. My Kid has been raking. Zhe has a teammate w/ 2 wins.
But the Kid got the “1” in a prelim round with 3rd-at-Nats and took 3rd in the entire tournament.
