Judy Harris, co-founder of the Matthew Harris Ornstein Washington Summer Debate Institute, says the debaters' civility is 'a model for an aching country.'
Ornstein was an academic. He taught political science for 15 years at institutions such as The Catholic University of America and Johns Hopkins University. He then went on to join the American Enterprise Institute think tank.
In addition to the debate camp, which runs two weeks for most participants but three weeks for varsity debaters, the foundation has also worked on a documentary about decriminalizing mental health treatment calledAt the time when the camp began in 2015, the Washington Urban Debate League was just getting off the ground, and there weren't many debate programs in the city's public school system.
The camp, therefore, is completely free of cost for students—who come from public schools, many of which are Title I schools. While kids didn't have to pay money to attend, Harris said there was one important stipulation early on. "It's good to be diverse," Trigaux said."It's a mix of income. It's a very nice mix of genders, a mix of the part of the city where you're from to really represent the community."to"have the conversations that they wouldn't normally have."
"She was sobbing and she said, 'I hope Matthew is proud of me,' and I said, 'He's proud of you, I'm sure,'" Harris said.
