Prison Inmates Defeat Harvard Debate Team

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/11916035/Harvard-university-debate-team-loses-to-New-York-prison-inmates.html

The three inmates,Carl Snyder,Dyjuan Tatro and Carlos Polanco,were tasked with arguing that public schools should be allowed to turn away students whose parents entered the US illegally.

The inmates impressed the judges by suggesting that if public schools turned the students away,non-governmental organisations or wealthier schools could step in and provide better education to the children in any case.

“They caught us off guard,” Anais Carell,a 20-year-old student told the Wall Street Journal,adding how impressed the Harvard students, who are the current national champions,had been by their opponents.

The Harvard team had "definitely not" gone easy on the inmates. “That would have been incredibly disrespectful of their talent and work.”

AlexHall,a 31-year-old from Manhattan convicted of manslaughter who is another member of the debating team,told the Wall Street Journal: “We might not be as naturally rhetorically gifted,but we work really hard.”

I think they need to pick a convict and put him in the presidential election debates.  I bet he'd embarrass the hell out of those politicians.  
And pick a real mean looking one who's also smart and see if Trump has the guts to insult him like he insults women.  lol

I think it's a cool story because it really shows what hard work and dedication can do... now those are life skills.
