Debate Should Be Mandatory

Dear Lex - thank you for NOT listening to the “close ear minded people”. I was taught we have two ears and one mouth. Unfortunately this is not followed. It is great to hear the opposite view or someone competitive with your own narrative. After all, how does one improve, play against the competition not against those like you! Hence, debate or toastmasters should be mandatory in school - perhaps that’s something you can push for in some way. Keep up the controversy and diversity of speakers. Communication and listening is so gone in todays world where many minds are subsidized by the click confidence of the internet.
