Why? Because their school didn't want to fund it, and why is that? Because they can't understand it, Dexter has been having the same problem, we can't get funding for anything, they don't want us to go to tournaments, and we are incapable of saving it on the school level the way it is.

But we still have problems in debate, why? We can't show the activity because it would doom us to having no funding.
