HotTopics: United States Extemp Questions for the Week of December 14-20, 2020

Note: Due to the winter holiday, Extemp Central will not release questions for the next two weeks since the competitive calendar is dormant. New questions will resume on Monday, January 4. We will be spending energy on updating the calendar and results lists over the next several weeks, though, so if there are results we do not have (especially of last year’s state tournaments), please send them to logan.scisco@topper.wku.edu.  In addition, we are going to be linking content again on our Facebook and Twitter pages, so like Extemp Central on Facebook and follow @extemp on Twitter!
