Braver Angels - Texas Wesleyan University Student Debate

Should local governments defund or reform police departments?

Texas Wesleyan students are invited to join a conversation embracing all sides of a challenging issue, think deeply, listen carefully, and allow themselves to be touched and transformed by each other’s ideas.

This debate was conceived and planned with the Sumners Foundation. It is brought to you with the support of a partnership of Braver Angels, and the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA), two non-profit organizations that believe in the power of free expression and respectful exchange of ideas on America's college campuses.
