In the Finals, Henry Ford proposed to set up secondary schools in Federal
Prisons and reduce Recidivism by increasing GED scores. The Negative felt that
this would obviously entrench Capitalism, Dangerously increase US Hegemony and
that it wasn't in Existing Secondary schools, before settling in the 2NR for
the argument that the affirmative did not have a card saying that they
increased test scores. Julie Bashkin and John DiLuca voted negative. Tim
Alderete voted aff that the GED is a test. Bashkin and DiLuca felt that the Aff
should have said that, exposing an underlying fundamental difference in how Mr
Alderete views topicality rounds.
