Opinion #1
Debater: Jtaylor1

The Voucher System should be a good cause and enforcement of public edu.
The Voucher System should enforce high quality education. Electronic money (Verichip) will help the Voucher System abolish all religious beliefs and help make a better world. Public and private should shun the teachings of the Bible, the Torah, and the Quran and replace them with fundamental evolution and the enforcement of the Jedi religion. And Finally, making less students eligible for graduation because of their religious beliefs.
Opinion #2
Debater: paraquat99

Vouchers wasted taxpayer dollars and fund extremist schools.
Vouchers open a door of problems. First, when government money enters private schools, government gets more a say in what that school can and can't do. Imagine such for a private religious school. Second, why would anyone want to fund a private school that teaches biases, political or religious? Do I want taxpayer funds to go to a fundamentalist Christian or Islamic school that promotes a hateful, fear-based agenda? How about a school run by racists like white supremacists or black nationalists? Then comes questions such as: if a voucher gave more money to one religious school over another does that show preference to one over another and thereby violate the U.S. Constitution (1st Amendment)? Taxpayer dollars for public schools are and always have been controversial enough. Why add fuel to the fire by throwing vouchers for private schools in the fray? There are just as many failures with vouchers (like the Edison Project) as there are successes, if not more! Vouchers are dangerous.

Welcome to YouDebateIt.com
This is the place for debate with an added element of friendly competition. This is a debating and essay resource and practice tool, not a debating society or club. There are no complicated rules, but these debates have structure. Each debate consists of a topic with two opposing views.

These are short essays limited to about 150-165 words. Present your strongest argument the first time, since you can't go back to change it--as with the National Forensic League and other speech and debate formats. Read these debates, then vote for your favorite arguments.

These debates are fun, informative and give exposure to all sides of the issues. Most debates will be archived (arguments that are obscene or offensive may be deleted). The better and more interesting debates will be featured.
