Motions:

R1: Infoslide: The Teacher Independence Model is a model which limits interaction between parents and teachers to meetings initiated by the school or teacher. In this model only the considerations and parameters of the teaching staff are considered in determining school and educational activity.

Motion: THW implement the Teacher Independence Model in schools for children aged over 12.

R2: Infoslide: Twitter has recently added a fact-check function, where certain high-profile tweets that are factually incorrect are flagged as such with a link to fact-checking post.

Motion: THR twitter adding a fact-check function

R3: THW incentivize work from home (*not only for the duration of the pandemic)

R4: THW grant all nation states the right to veto any transfer, out of their country, of art which is deemed to be cultural heritage

R5: THW forbid universities in the US from accepting research funding from China

QF: Infoslide: In an Randomized Control Trial (RCT), participants – individuals or communities – are randomly split into a treatment group (who receive the intervention) and a control group (who do not). Afterwards, the two groups are compared. RCTs are being used increasingly frequently to test the efficacy of aid and NGO interventions.

Motion: THW spend the significant majority of foreign development aid on interventions proven to be effective by RCT.

SF: Infoslide: Tradwife sites feature heterosexual women promote/glorify the virtues of and behaving like “traditional wives”: staying at home, fixing meals, having many children and raising them. They are anti-feminist, actively attack the feminist movement, and glorify submitting to male leadership.

Motion: TH, as a feminist hacker, would seek to disrupt tradwife spaces (for example, by methods such as DDos, phishing, defacement)

Final: Infoslide: For the purposes of this debate, there exists a governing AI. The governing AI is able to optimise policy outcomes to maximise or minimize measurable parameters it is given.

Motion: THP the rule of the governing AI, with elections on priorities over, traditional representative democracy
