3. THE NOVICE POLICY CASE LIST
All Affirmative Novice Division Policy Debate Teams are required to present
a case that fits one of the following areas:
1. Ban use of ^Ódon't ask don't tell^Ô in the military-employment
2. Pass the Genetic Nondiscrimination Act of 1999-medical records
3. Ban racial profiling-search and seizure
4. Data mining/consumer protection
5. Ban use of drug testing in the workplace
· Teams may not double up like banning data mining and drug testing in the
same affirmative.
· Novice teams may run only these counterplans: states (rather than federal
government run), transparency (a more open society where openness rather
than privacy is valued), industry regulated (rather than government
regulated). Other counterplans are banned.
· Novice teams may not run kritiks.
· If a negative team convincingly argues that a case does not fit under one
of these areas, judges shall make a decision that the negative won the
debate.
Note: The fact that a case fits one of these novice case areas does not
mean that the case is topical nor that it is not topical. Judges shall
determine the topicality of the affirmative plan based on the argumentation
presented in the debate.
4. THE NOVEMBER-DECEMBER LD TOPIC, WHICH WE WILL USE AT THE WHITMAN
TOURNAMENT
Resolved: Establishing a safe educational environment in grades K-12
justifies infringement of students' civil liberties.
