For more than 30 years, The City Club of Cleveland has hosted the annual High School Debate Championship in which the top two area high school debaters square off in a classic "Lincoln-Douglas" style debate. Despite the pandemic, we are moving forward with this tradition and presenting the championship virtually.
The two finalists will be debating Resolved: The United States ought to guarantee universal child care.
The livestream will be available beginning at 12:30 p.m.
