Part 1 – Framework

Justice is comprised of recognition and redistribution. Moral frameworks need to encompass both in order to function. Fraser 01

Nancy Fraser, 20'01, "Recognition without ethics?", Nancy Fraser is an American critical theorist, feminist, and the Henry A. and Louise Loeb Professor of Political and Social Science and professor of philosophy at The New School in New York City, https://www.google.com/search?q=nancy+fraserandoq=nancy+fraserandaqs=chrome..69i57.2448j0j4andsourceid=chromeandie=UTF-8
For some time now, the forces of progressive politics have been divided into two
AND
defensible claims for social equality and defensible claims for the recognition of difference. 

Participatory parity provides a method to both identify and remedy injustice. Fraser 2

Nancy, 2001, "Recognition without ethics?", Nancy Fraser is an American critical theorist, feminist, and the Henry A. and Louise Loeb Professor of Political and Social Science and professor of philosophy at The New School in New York City, https://www.google.com/search?q=nancy+fraserandoq=nancy+fraserandaqs=chrome..69i57.2448j0j4andsourceid=chromeandie=UTF-8
How, then, should recognition claims be judged? What constitutes an adequate criterion
AND
itself sufficient to distinguish justified from unjustified claims for the recognition of difference.

Thus the standard is participatory parity.

The status model fosters participatory parity. Fraser 3

The key to my strategy is to break with the standard 'identity' model of
AND
redistribution – without succumbing to philosophical schizophrenia. Or so I shall argue next

Qualified immunity protects officers who have clearly broken the law because the standards for being clearly established are far too high.

Thus the plan text: The united states ought to limit qualified immunity for police officers by changing the clearly established clause to a burden of evidence on the defendant

dismissal by arguing that their actions were not in fact a constitutional violation."

Civil suits in constitutional rights violations are distinctly important in recognizing the importance of individuals who have their rights violated by government officials, even when the financial liability may be addressed by the government. Armacost 89

Part one is the Topic

In contemporary LD, both historically and in the status quo students in round often encounter a restriction on their constitutionally protected free speech and the restriction they encounter is the invoking of topicality as a way of nullifying the in round and political significance of the AC
Thus, I propose an alternative resolution: Resolved: In LD debate, affirmative debaters may not defend topical advocacies in order to win.
There are nine implications:
analytic

Part two is the Framework

The oppressed must liberate themselves, first in the form of pedagogy
Friere 3|"PEDAGOGY of the OPPRESSED" (http://www.users.humboldt.edu/jwpowell/edreformFriere_pedagogy.pdf) A.B.
"It is only … methods of dehumanization" (65-67).'
The role of the ballot is to vote for the debater who advocates the best liberating dialogue

Part Three is the Advocacy

I defend that: Resolved: In LD debate, affirmative debaters may not defend topical advocacies as long as the AC and ballot story is a critique of norms in LD debate in order to win.
This advocacy functions the same under the alternative resolution just as a plan would under any other resolution. It is a specific way to implement or prove the resolution true.
This serves as an appropriate limitation on affirmatives because

Part four is the Offense

Topic Selection is grounded in privilege which results in making already marginalized identities in debate irrelevant

Procedures for topic … issues they faced.

Listen to Shaniqua's story – status quo debate forces a normative method of engaging

Shaniqua, an African … to truly exist. 

The only solution is to recognize our privileged debate training and embrace the possibility of both questioning and changing debate procedure
