PUBLIUS SPECIAL GUEST: James Fishback, is founder and executive director ofIncubate Debate, the largest and only no-cost debate league in Florida. Incubate serves thousands of middle and high school students across the state, believing that open debate and free speech are essential.
This school year, James has visited high schools across Florida and spoken with thousands of students about lethal fentanyl through Incubate's "Not Even Once" initiative.
He has seen first-hand how little students know about fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that represents 80% of all fatal teen overdoses. He views the teen fentanyl crisis as a massive supply side issue and an education issue, both of which must be solved in order to save young men and women from this deadly poison.
At a time when many schools insist on hosting drag queen story hour, there appears to be no time, effort, or urgency to discuss fentanyl with young people, who are peddled fentanyl via social media in the form of counterfeit pills made to look like FDA-approved drugs, Percocet, Oxycontin, Adderall.
BIO: James Fishback, founded Incubate Debate in 2019 after serving as a volunteer debate coach in Miami-Dade county for two-years and competing in high school debate for four-years in Broward County.
Both were incredible and eye-opening experiences, but ones in which he recognized tremendous issues that prevented many students from participating in and reaping the benefits of debate.
In 2019, he started Incubate Debate, with the goal of making debate accessible to students of all socioeconomic backgrounds and political beliefs. Over the past four years, Incubate has welcomed thousands of students from all over Florida to its tournaments, workshops, and camps, all at no cost.
Incubate is built on the principle of making debate easy to learn, hard to master. Through our proprietary debate formats (TownHall, Roundtable, Tribunal), Incubate is easy to learn: students get a basic understanding of the rules and processes fast, but it is hard to master because it demands a high level of skill, knowledge, and practice to be successful.
Mastering Incubate’s challenging, yet accessible style of debate requires dedication and a willingness to continually strive for improvement.
James was born and raised in Davie, FL.
