When I went to university in the late 70's, one of my professors strongly believed in rational debate. Most of our grades were based on our debate performance. We had some rather lively discussions on some very contentious topics. He didn't allow swear words or yelling, but other than that, it was game on. It was a lot of fun, and I don't remember anyone ever needing to go to their "safe space" because they had been emotionally "triggered" and their fragile psyche had been hurt. My God, seriously kids??? What do you debate about today I wonder, or is debate no longer allowed because all the snowflakes self-esteem will be damaged.
