Resolved: The initiative "UN Global Classrooms" is beneficial to American students.

I will just post my case and by which I will also negate alot of my opponents case in the process. I agree with the observations below by my opponent. Observation 1: The evaluation in this debate is the focus on Model UN. Observation 2: The burden of proof is shared equally between the PRO and CON considering the positions in this resolution, where the burden of PRO is to prove that this activity is beneficial for American students and my opponent's burden is to prove the exact opposite. =Argument & Rebuttal=Contention 1: The MUN experience teaches global citizenship for U. S. students. I do not think people realize the power an the influence the UN has at the level of local politics and the local schools. The UN efforts toward transforming children into "global citizens" is outrageous. Through a global curriculum we can most certainly guarantee this would not emphasize our 'Declaration of Independence. ' The Model United Nations is a program created by the UN to engage "middle school and high school students in an exploration of current world issues through interactive simulations and curricular materials. " The emphasis on MUN is not on being good citizens of their home countries; rather it is to diminish that concept in favor of the creation of global citizens who will see participation in worldwide government as their primary responsibility. The United Nations will not be deterred in its quest to inform our children of their responsibility for Global citizenship. The priority now is to preach this gospel in each and every American classroom. The message is obviously getting through to our kids. Don’t think for one second that the United Nations don’t appreciate the ability of these young people to push the plan along. Contention 2: Students in MUN attain an disadvantage in their own country. Despite the advantages of MUN could bring, it does have many drawbacks. Many of these problems can be attributed to the internationally intensive processing required and as a result could begin resentments and bitterness in their own nation. As a consequence, the results of the MUN may not be helpful in adjustment. The lessons learned in such a teaching could be less accepted inside a free country who greatly value their liberty an nationalism. This global adjustment may cause an exceedingly large number of people to rebel such an act of globalism. This leaving the children and/or adults being taught in these matters by MUN being seen as traders. Due to the interactions and training by the UN can occur unrestricted platforms by which our students determine their thought is superior to others. As more powerful platforms techniques become available, this problem can become more of a concern. One of the ways of combating this is to introduce (at home) nationality rights and freedoms by which these practices can be deterred. These techniques can dramatically decrease in raged citizens. This type of training give its users a false sense of security regarding the accuracy of the curriculum. However, if the user of such a training places this curriculum above their current citizen status of their country they may fail to operate correctly inside their own society. Contention 3: MUN is an excellent way teach betrayal to country. Global Classrooms cultivates literacy, life skills and the attitudes necessary for active citizenship. Who's citizenship again? The MUN has planned this for many years. Now they are about the ways that students can become adversity in pursuit of their global education. The regrettable thing is that our own nation's future is an uncertainty. That may seem hyperbolic, but it's not. There is no such thing as "just globalism" when it comes to education, and there is no such thing as compromise. What MUN has done by cutting national programs and instead educating endless amounts to a declaration of war against the American Dream. I understand that these plans by the MUN are merely a symptom of a much larger and older problem. Whenever it becomes time to, "tighten our belts" and "share" a sacrifice, it seems that some belts end up tighter than others, and that education takes up an unfair share of said sacrifice. For far too long we have taken education for granted in this country. If there is any good that has come from these misadventures, it has been the politicization of my peers. Students should be completely apathetic when it came to politics though suddenly they are put in the fore front. Meanwhile, MUN students are forced to jump into the deep waters of civil disobedience, hosting universal debates and other forms of acceptance. And what do they get in return for this globalization? School districts closed, teachers treated like expendable wastes of taxpayer money, protesters arrested, the dreams of American students derailed, the hopes and dreams of entire families dried up like raisin's in the sun. It is a paradox—this ugliness and greed is the reason many Americans turn their backs on politics, but their turning their backs allows for this globalization to perpetuate. Seeing the vast movement of MUN causes these young men and women to plummet hope and it is also frightening. Will they be able to last here in the United States (any country for that matter) long enough to finish their degrees? We are watching our children learn how to enslave us their fellow citizens. We can sorely contemplate what exactly the American future holds. It should not be simply a matter of their education being compromised but their love for America. We can only hope that somehow we can scrounge up the courage to no longer accept this, as well as hope that the students that go there will have more brains than the ones teaching them. To End: The United Nations are on a mission to teach our children how to be better "global citizens" and it just may be soon coming to a school district near you.
