Ethan Cohen – Year 12

This is for you, if you feel strongly for or against the rights and security of Israel, or Palestine, or both, or neither. It’s for you if you feel strongly for or against refugees, or euthanasia, or drug decriminalisation, or feminism, gay marriage, or transgenderism. It’s for you if you think we need to fight harder for equality in Australian society, and it’s for you if you think we’ve fought enough already. 

The Night of Dangerous Debate will happen next week on 24 May from 6.30 to 8.30 pm in the Millie Phillips Theatre, and all of the above topics will be debated by a panel that includes a far-right Christian nationalist, a far-left Socialist Zionist, law students, philosophers, and high-profile members of both Labor and Liberal parties. Students in Year 9 and above are encouraged to attend, and are welcome to bring family and friends as well. If you hold strong political beliefs, you won’t want to miss it. If you don’t, you should come for an opportunity to learn about the world and experience a very wide range of opinions. Feel free to contact me at cohen.ethan@emanuelschool.nsw.edu.au if you have any questions. See you there.
