This is something that should be in a debate class, tbh.

I really wish they would stop making people think there are grey areas in black and white issues. moral relativism is a fucking dangerous thing, and too many people subscribe to it after high school

I agree with you. This would just be an exercise on being able to produce a competent argument on an issue that you do not side with. Admittedly, there are better topics that could be used to achieve the same goal, but in high school, the Lincoln-Douglas debate style is generally used, so the subject could be broached in a way that doesn't seek to validate slavery at all, especially given the namesakes. Still, not saying it should be a platform for what you describe.

If you're not looking for any honest discussion, agreement, meeting halfway or middle ground, don't bother arguing with me. Selfish narcissists need not apply.
