Controversial Debate topics...
There is a debating competition at school and am looking for a controversial topic for my house to do a debate on.... It has to appeal to the sixth form (so nothing too boring) and I want at least one side to generate a lot of questions... .Another house is doing 'Was Hitler a great man' so I'm trying to think of an equally controversial topic... Any ideas?

We had to do a similar debate in my college.
My group opted to debate on whether animal testing is justified (or morally wrong).
Given that the group I was, the chosen debate got pretty heated although most of us didn't feel even slightly passionate about the matter - if we had chosen anything slightly more controversial which we actually had an interest in, the debate would have become violent!

The most controversial debate would be one that involves casting our nation as villainous.

Nice to see my work is appreciated...
"THBT white people are superior to black people". Controversy 101.
Or "THBT the Final Solution was justified". You'd never get a proposition, but theoretically it still counts as a debate.

You may get a proposition. I'd be willing to propose, I'd take it as a challenge. Before anyone gets the wrong idea, that doesn't mean I agree with the motion, the holocaust was undeniably an evil act, just it would be interesting to try to defend something SO indefensible.
Yes, I know what you mean. I too relish such challenges. But there's a line beyond which I really would feel, well, just bad about doing so.
It's interesting to consider that with the Holocaust, people who secretly wish it had been completed make insane claims that it is a lie propagated to help propel Jews to global supremacy, but no-one has ever said the same thing about the Armenian genocide.
