Harvard Debate Team Loses To Prison Debate Team

The article that I read for this week's blog was about how the Harvard debate team lost to a prison debate team. It gave them an opportunity to learn about different things and to challenge themselves. That goes against the stereotype that prisoners were not very bright. Also by the prisoners participating in things like that it shows that prisoners are actually smart. To beat a Harvard debate team is not a small task. The stereotype is that prisoners are not smart, but this goes against that. In the article many of the people said that they were caught off guard on how good the inmates actually were. Overall I think that this is a great opportunity for the inmates and I am happy they are participating in it.
