The official Twitter account of the Tulsa Debate League. The Tulsa Debate League is an urban debate league supporting academically rigorous debate programs in Tulsa area public schools. The mission of the Tulsa Debate League ("TDL") is to provide students in under resourced public schools in Tulsa the opportunity to participate in debate programs which build the critical thinking, communication, and literacy skills to succeed in college and career, and to become engaged citizens in our democracy. Research shows that debaters in low-income, urban schools are more likely to graduate high school, meet college-readiness benchmarks, and achieve greater gains in cumulative GPA and SAT/ACT scores than their peers. TDL organizes debate tournaments, trains teachers and students in debate skills, and funds travel and other expenses such as summer camp. The organization serves students from grades 4-12 in schools across the city.
