Braver Angels Debate at SUNY Cortland

Resolved: Social media is a threat to democracy because it allows for the spread of misinformation.

SUNY Cortland students, faculty and staff are invited to join a respectful conversation touching all sides of a challenging issue. Braver Angels debates are non-confrontational and not competitive, but are designed to encourage participants to think deeply, express personal viewpoints, and gain greater insight into others' points of view.

This debate is brought to you with the support of a partnership of Braver Angels, BridgeUSA, and the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA), non-profit organizations that believe in the power of free expression and respectful exchange of ideas on America's college campuses.
