The TRUTH IS NEVER ALIEN
TO THOSE WHO WILL DEBATE IT.
Trust those who are seeking truth......
Doubt those who have found it.
What They Say About Debate:
I think debating in high school and college is the most valuable training whether for politics, the law, business, or for service on community committees such as the PTA and the League of Women Voters. A good debater must not only study material in support of his own case, but he must also, of course, thoroughly analyze the expected argument of his opponent. The give and take of debating, the testing of ideas, is essential to democracy. I wish we had a good deal more debating in our educational institutions than we do now."
-- John F. Kennedy, August 22, 1960
"If it is a disgrace to a man when he cannot defend himself in a bodily way, it would be absurd not to think him disgraced when he cannot defend himself with reason in a speech."
-- Aristotle in The Rhetoric
"One of the greatest benefits to debate is the people you meet and the friends you make. Whether on North's team, or competitors from other schools, there's a tremendous sense of community"
-- Joshua Claybourn, team President 1998-99
"I started debate because I was curious, I stayed in debate because it was the most mind challenging and diverse team activity that high school has to offer, and I'm leaving debate with memories and lessons to last forever."
-- Diana Moers, team President 1999-2000
[ http://www.txfa.org/ ]Debating is the ultimate mind exercise.[Image:tfalogo.jpg]
Mission Statement:
“Our mission is to encourage students to seek truth through research, brainstorming, and competition, in an open and tolerant environment where all perspectives and philosophies are respected, appreciated, and valued in their contribution to the
‘Great Market Place of Ideas.”
