9/11 Debate Guide
Since the attacks of September, 11 2001, America has struggled to find the right balance between safety and freedom. Some say the government has become so zealous and intrusive in its efforts to stop terrorism that our freedoms have been compromised. Others believe law enforcement and the military should be given wide latitude to prevent terrorism. This week you and your partners will research and conduct debates related to this important and timely topic.
