Ahmed Mohamed and his family claim that they were discriminated against by the public school system and the police. Pro contends that the facts indicate that no discrimination took place and the incident was exaggerated by the media before all the facts were known. Con may argue in support for the Mohamed family.

I will be taking the position that President Trump does not understand what fake news is and instead uses the idea of fake news to go after unflattering reporting of him and his administration.

I wish to debate in favor of the position that more bad than good came out of giving the women the right to vote in the United States. Anybody want to debate minor alterations of that is welcome to do so with permission before starting the debate as long as I think it will still leave me enough ground to debate on.
