On Election Day, Bluffton University students put their debate skills to the test during a university forum. Members of the argumentation and advocacy class debated the topic of whether to allow students to do off-site religious instruction during the school day, which is a topic that Ohio lawmakers are looking at currently. The students were assigned either to defend the issue or to debate against it. Learning the art of debating can give people a better understanding of a topic, even if they don't agree with it.
