Lion King Debate Case- NEG: 2:50 Note: Read slow Introduction We the negative strongly disagree with the resolution that states, “Resolved: Mufasa from Disney's ‘The Lion King’ is a good king.” We define a good king as someone who is kind and fair to everyone and who doesn’t act racist or discriminate. We believe Mufasa is not a good king for the following reasons… He is very racist He teaches his son bad life lessons He is a hypocrite Contention #1: Mufasa is racist First of all, Mufasa

His name was Aerowiph Ethereal Blade, and he was to be the next king of the StreakHunter tribe. He was the son of Gryphon – the king of the tribe and the most respected lion among the land. – He was fearless, serious, and kind but firm at the same time.
