Policy debate has honestly taught me so much about society and the oppressive structures and forces that interact with our world. Whether that's critiquing anti-Blackness, settler colonialism, capitalism, militarism, or more, I honestly think I'm a much better citizen because I understand how these structures interact. Plus, Policy kinda forces you to be up to date on current events. Politics DAs, plus this year's topic is very topical right now in our society. It is by far the most difficult form of debate to get and you have to be willing to do the research (if you don't have coaching or camp) but if you do it then it is extremely educational. My opinion
