 Left side (disagreeing) Rhibear ~ Madam Solo ~ ❄ Showtunes > Everything ❄ ~ Accio Jedi ~ Gryffinclaw ~ Just a doll
Desiree was relieved when the first debate ended. As she focused on Professor Fergersnout, two things concerned her. One was the burst of flames coming from the replica goblet; the other was what the professor said about a conference full of hot headed wizards and witches and picking apart others’ arguments. Sorry, but no! She would take part in this debate. She’d even argue a position that went against her beliefs, but she would not hurt or humiliate her classmates to do it. And frankly, she thought that anyone too hot-headed to express their thoughts in a kind way shouldn’t be in power at all!
She had to fight the urge to roll her eyes when she heard the next topic. Once again, she was on the wrong side of the debate. She really should’ve sat on the right side of the room! At least this topic seemed less likely to turn ugly than the other one.
Desiree sat quietly, considering her argument. While she personally felt that school uniforms were rather boring, she didn’t find them outright harmful either. She thought of the little touches she added to make her uniform a little less boring, like her hair clip, her nail polish, and her jewelry. Sometimes it took a bit of creativity to express her style without breaking the rules, but she made it work. That gave her an idea for the debate! When her turn came, she said, “Uniforms don’t necessarily take away people’s freedom of expression. They encourage people to get creative in the ways they express themselves, like adding personal touches and accessories to their uniforms or finding other creative outlets that don’t involve fashion.”
