The 20th Century's Dirtiest Word | Jon Thorpe | TEDxDesignTechHighSchool

Jon Thorpe gives an interesting talk about conventional wisdom and how it affects society. Jon is the founder of the POI Debate Institute at UC Berkeley and is the CEO and founder of Club Parli. Jon also founded the debate program in 2007 at Oakland’s Bishop O’Dowd High School and served as its coach until 2017. During his tenure, O’Dowd parliamentary debaters won almost every major tournament at least once, including Yale, Stanford, the California State Tournament, and the Parliamentary Debate Tournament of Champions and his debaters finished 1st in the national rankings three times. In addition to coaching, Jon created and developed the National Parliamentary Debate Invitational and the 6x4 Invitational, two of the most prestigious tournaments on the high school parliamentary debate circuit. At Club Parli, Jon has assembled a best-in-class coaching staff led by David Saulet and this year made history by qualifying middle schoolers and freshmen to the 2018 Parliamentary Debate Tournament of Champions. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
