NOF creates resolutions for Elementary and Middle School LD and PF competitors.
To ensure that our topics are accessible yet challenging enough for our young competitors, National Online Forensics writes custom topics for Lincoln Douglas (LD) and Public Forum (PF) competitors to debate. This topic will be used for NOF Invitational speech and debate competitions from December 2026 to February 2027. These topics change every three months throughout the regular season.
LD and Public Forum Topic
(MS and ES entries only)
Resolved: The benefits of student cell phone use in K–12 classrooms outweigh the harms.
