Bakersfield Debate Club

Bakersfield Debate Club

Bakersfield, CA

Bakersfield has always been a city of oil, agriculture, and country-music straight talk. The Bakersfield Debate Club gives that tradition a venue: structured debates, motions sourced from local interest and global headlines, and a community that takes ideas seriously without taking themselves too seriously. New members welcome, including first-time debaters.
