The Wichita NAACP Youth hold their very first Mock Debate

.
We plan to slowly grow this debate team within our youth unit, and once the children are a bit more practiced we will begin holding these debates before the public. During the NAACP National Conference, we even talked among the Kansas State Branches that perhaps if we all grew our own Youth Debate teams we could develop our own State tournament and have the Youth Councils compete against one another throughout the State.

I'll keep you all informed as we put "the meat on the bones", and in the meanwhile, we'll keep building with our group. Their next debate is planned for August 3rd, when they will debate the proposition "Children/pre-teens should be allowed to have their own cell phones". I can't wait...
