On April 6, students at USF St. Petersburg gathere On April 6, students at USF St. Petersburg gathered for a second round of debates between the political left and right. 

Like the first debate, students took sides on a range of topics including mass deportation, U.S. involvement in international conflicts, universal healthcare and whether cats are better than dogs. 

With the current political polarization occurring across the country, students find that these debates foster a peaceful dialogue between disagreeing sides.
