Public Forum is a type of
high school debate usually reserved for those who aren't necesarily the brightest
kids. Set up by Ted Turner, Public Forum was used as a means to have high school debate become a 'spectator event', which was nearly impossible under the other forms. Because of this, PF is extremely simple and is about a topic, or "resolution", that changes every month. Arguements are very back-and-forth, however they
may have no substance to them at all.
