Petra Van Court Demystifies K Debate and Speaks Out on Student Advocacy
Send us a text
Petra Van Court is a self-professed "true debate nerd" who qualified for Nationals in Policy Debate twice when she competed with Cheyenne East. These days, Petra uses her debate knowledge and experience to help prep her students at Norman North HS while she attends school at the University of Oklahoma where she is finishing a Sociology degree.
Petra shared some of her debate chops on the One Clap Pod in a fun and interesting conversation. She explained her take on Kritik (K) debate - how a "K" works, why it is sometimes effective, and why many of her debaters often choose to use the "K" in debates. Petra also shared the story of her Speech and Debate journey, talked about how Lincoln-Douglas helped her improve as a Policy debater, and discussed ways that debate coaches can and should be an advocate for their students. Psst, Petra also loves pretzels.

I stand by the NSDA statement on George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. I read the statement in full on this episode of the podcast. It is located HERE.
