On November 1st, our Liberty over lunch seminar students hosted a campus debate at Western Carolina University on the question:
Should gender affirming care for youth be banned?
For over an hour and a half, students, faculty, and staff discussed the pros and cons of the question. Many excellent points were made, and the level of grace and humility was incredible.
I want to thank the Liberty over lunch students for selecting the topic and kicking off the debate, the Western Carolina University College of Business staff for helping with food and room arrangements, Doug Sprei for helping us select and frame our debate question, Wm. Bryan Paul for gently guiding us through the debate as chair, the Barnes Family Foundation of NC and Braver Angels for supporting the event, and Emily Jae and Jenna Robinson for recommending Braver Angels to lead the debate.
