White Guilt-Ridden Ivy League PC Students Throw Debate to Prisoners.
There, fixed it.
That actually doesn’t sound like something that hypercompetitive Harvard students would do.
Sounds like the inmates used the Chewbacca defense, and Harvard team couldn’t counter.
Being one does not preclude being the other.

Not necessarily.
Great movie “The Great Debaters” True story, long before “white guilt” reared it’s ugly head.

Beat me to the #Checkyourprivilege post.
The Wuss Generation will fold like fitted sheets.
The prisoners certainly would have more time to prep.
I don’t agree. I’m quite sure these guys won fair and square. After all, the best lawyers in the world are the jailhouse lawyers; the ability to debate well, a good memory for details, a clear grasp of see both sides of an argument, the ability to think creatively and quickly, are all part of good lawyering.
"Mind if we win dis debates?"
At the very least, more time for perp.
The inmates had pictures of their sisters?
Sounds like they needed Cruz to coach them.
Can we breakdown what 4 years at Prison costs vs 4 years at Harvard?

Prison costs more. But then you do have a better class of people in prison than at havard.
One of the judges, Mary Nugent, told the Wall Street Journal that the Bard team effectively made the case that the schools which serve undocumented children often underperformed. The debaters proposed that if these so-called dropout factories refuse to enroll the children, then nonprofits and wealthier schools might intercede, offering the students better educations. She told the paper that Harvard's debaters did not respond to all aspects of the argument.Future stump-for-Trump volunteers, current and future opponents of Common Core?
Precisely my first thought.
Not surprising really, when you think about it. The thought police at U.S. universities and colleges “protect” their precious, sensitive charges from all but the most PC thoughts and ideas, banning all dissenting ideas and speech from campuses, thereby leaving their students paralyzed when exposed to the real world where not everyone is a brainwashed Marxist.
