Georgia Highlands College is organizing a debate club for students.

The club will be advised by Michael Gattis, temporary full-time instructor of history at the North Metro campus in Acworth.

Gattis feels very strongly about free speech, saying �Limits on our freedom of speech take away from our individuality.� He also feels that society today comes with too many labels. The debate club will provide an environment where students can discuss many of today's current issues along with economic and political views without being judged.

Some other benefits of being in the debate club include being able to overcome the fear of public speaking and having something to add to transfer applications and college resumes.

The club also hopes to travel to other campuses for meets.

People on all campuses are welcome to join, including faculty. Those who are interested may contact Gattis at home 770-773-7215, or via email at [email protected].
