New on KTAL-LP: Open to DebateKTAL-LP is proud to add Open to Debate to its Wednesday lineup. Open to Debate is the nation’s only nonpartisan, debate-driven media organization dedicated to bringing multiple viewpoints together for a constructive, balanced and respectful exchange of ideas. It offers a platform for intellectually curious and open-minded people to engage with others holding opposing views on complex issues.
The Open to Debate organization believes that to solve our greatest problems, we must operate in a contempt-free zone and be able to sit in the same room and exchange ideas with people with whom we disagree, that debating is a gesture of respect for the good faith arguments of those with whom we disagree, that the future of American Democracy depends on the strength of communities to work together and overcome their differences, and that “Us vs. Them” thinking is destructive to our social fabric and we need a national model to guide debates to a healthy and free exchange of ideas. The Open to Debate mission is to restore critical thinking, facts, reason and civility to America’s public square. Tune in weekly on Wednesdays at 5:00pm to Open to Debate and check out Que Tal’s Weekly Highlights section above for the weekly topic debated this week.
