Southern Culture Students Hold Presidential Debate

Students in Mrs. Frankie Frink’s Southern Culture class at South campus held their own presidential debate the week before the presidential election. Students had to ask questions of their opponents that were important to southern voters and then be prepared to offer rebuttals. Students were particularly concerned with the economy and jobs in North Carolina.
