The NYPD uses its power to trail Muslim students in the Northeast. When asked about this, state elites like Michael Bloomberg defended their actions.

Baker and Taylor 2012 (Al and Kate, Writers for the New York Times, "Bloomberg Defends Police’s Monitoring of Muslim Students on Web")

The United States flows the model of securitization closely, where once a security threat is declared, any emergency action is taken to eliminate that threat. The US has declared Muslims and people who are foreign to be security threats and use legislation like the Authorization of Military Force against terror to eliminate those "threats."

Holbradd and Pederson 2012 (Martin Holbraad and Morten Axel Pedersen (2012). Revolutionary securitization: an anthropological extension of securitization theory. International Theory, 4, pp 165­197)
’Security’ is the move that takes politics beyond the established rules of the game

The non-political realm, then, is the realm in which subjects act
AND
capacity for autonomy is given precedence over the constraints of ordinary political arrangements.

As a result, the USFG should revoke the AUMF on terror to increase statutory restrictions on the WPA of the President in introducing USAF into hostilities by use of surveillance tactics, just as the debate community should increase statutory restrictions on the power of the resolution to define what hostilities are.

Revolutionary politics is a revolt against the state and systems of power and seeks to inject a new revolutionary ethos into the system. This prevents harmful security acts.

Holbradd and Pederson 2012 (Martin Holbraad and Morten Axel Pedersen (2012). Revolutionary securitization: an anthropological extension of securitization theory. International Theory, 4, pp 165­197)
A truly revolutionary politics, then, is one that is deliberately geared towards an

In essence, then, revolutionary ontology is founded on a syllogism that, as

strictly speaking and in line with Castro’s logic, has no legitimate outside.
The alternative model that we are here proposing is conditional on the critique we have

Hence, the liberal pre-revolutionary starting-point of people and state as

revolutionary logic, counter- revolutionary threats now feature only under ontological erasure.

From the deserts of the Middle East to the cities of the US, US empire has used fear to cast these areas of the globe and specific groups as evil in order to justify its expanding global domination both foreign and domestic.

Kumar 2012 (Deepa, Associate Professor of Media Studies and Middle Eastern Studies at the Rutgers University, “Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire)

The executive has expanded imperial powers throughout multiple sections of the government, ensuring Islamophobia’s existence. The current means of creating policies over war powers have been configured to serve the goals of the War on Terror, a process that has led to systematic violations of the rights of Muslims and Arab communities both home and abroad.

Kumar 2012 (Deepa, Associate Professor of Media Studies and Middle Eastern Studies at the Rutgers University, “Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire)

Actively fighting against the mechanisms that have created oppression both in government and debate will help to create a political climate where all viewpoints over policy and debate can be ensured to have a space to speak.

Kumar 2012 (Deepa, Associate Professor of Media Studies and Middle Eastern Studies at the Rutgers University, “Islamophobia and the Politics of Empire)

In order to ensure the restriction of the war powers, we must begin to remove the legislation that has given the president unrelenting power in his conquest on the War on Terror. 

Thus, the United States federal government should repeal the Authority for use of Military Force Act, which has given the president unlimited authority.

The law in its current form unfairly prosecutes and in some times executes innocent members of communities around the globe. Without a critical examination of the structures that have created current violent war powers, systems of oppression such as Islamophobia will continue to pervade the entire political system.

The crucial internal link in ending islamophobia is engaging in a critical liberatory education by both debaters and coaches alike that includes three aspects:

Militarism Definition
Mirra 2008 (Carl, Adelphi University, “Countering Militarism through Peace Education”)

If we continue to allow the government to achieve being the dominant narrative over war in public schools, status quo war decisions by the United States will continue to exist and the endangerment of our world will be inevitable.
Harding and Kershner 2011 (Scott and Seth, School of Social Work University of Connecticut and Simmons College, “Just say No”: Organizing Against Militarism in Public Schools”) 

The use of discourse for the desire of obtaining power and the annihilation of competing interpretations is a clear representation of militarism being expressed in our overly competitive nature of debate.
Reid-Brinkley, 08 (Assistant Professor PhD and Debate Coach at University of Pittsburgh "THE HARSH REALITIES OF “ACTING BLACK”: HOW AFRICAN-AMERICAN POLICY DEBATERS NEGOTIATE REPRESENTATION THROUGH RACIAL PERFORMANCE AND STYLE" Pgs. 68-69)

Debate should be a space that seeks to reject militarism seen within the United States federal government as well as within academia. The ballot should be to endorse the team that provides the best form of resistance against the military structures of the United States government as well as debate.

Prefer our interpretation: The embedded militarization in government and within debate has resulted in the lack of introspection over its existence and vice versa becoming a root cause of the topic areas described in the resolution, expressing the necessity of its critique in order to begin restricting its functionality within these rounds.

Voting affirmative endorses a political movement that seeks to promote to rejection of anti-blackness’ existence through a confrontation of militarism within debate allowing it to progressively change and develop new ideals.
