Guards Outside Schools

On March 27th, the Public Debate team hosted their last debate of the year on whether guards should be placed outside schools.

Some believe that we need to be proactive in protecting our children by introducing armed guards to schools, and others believe that more guns just create more problems. After the Parkland shooting, this discussion has become even more relevant to Florida schools, and it has brought us here tonight. The resolution for this debate was: public schools should have armed guards placed outside during school hours.
