Shane Krauser Directs Veritas Debate Academy Through Summer Bootcamps
Shane Krauser is the director of Veritas Debate Academy, an experienced trial attorney, and a nationally-renowned speaker. Veritas Debate Academy completed a round of Summer 2025 Leadership and Liberty Bootcamps. Shane Krauser, the director of the Academy, organized the intensive effort that included several dozen students throughout the Phoenix metropolitan area. Some students traveled from as far as Yuma (AZ), Holbrook (AZ), and Lehi (UT) to participate. Taking on the role of an Arizona state senator, the students adopted a bill, lobbied for the bill, moved the bill through the 'committee,' appeared in front of a mock media, and argued on the senate floor to pass the bill. Over the course of the three days, students learned lessons on how to lead, communicate, and build relationships, and they became fantastic, passionate advocates through the process. Shane Krauser, a former adjunct professor of constitutional law, said, 'These students were nothing short of exceptional, and I am honored that so many parents have entrusted me with a part of their child's education. The lessons the young people learn here are designed to set them up for long-term success.' Veritas Debate Academy is headquartered in Gilbert, AZ, was founded in 2024, and focuses primarily on the homeschool community, teaching courses that revolve around leadership, the U.S. Constitution, the foundations of America, along with speech and debate. The three-day bootcamp is a featured course that is primarily held during the Summer. During this three-day journey, the students absorbed, learned, engaged and debated numerous ideas around the proper role of government and the principles of freedom. The level of impassioned debate and focused leadership was a high point of the bootcamps. Students debated 21 different issues ranging from gambling to the appropriate driving age, seatbelt mandates to the legalization of cannabis. Each of the issues provided a chance for the students to take a position and then debate the pros and cons. Cheryl Todd of Litchfield Park, AZ attended with her granddaughter and said, 'I can't recommend this experience enough. My granddaughter absolutely loved every minute of this experience! The topics covered sparked so many meaningful conversations around the family dinner table—and honestly, I learned just as much as she did! She walked away with a renewed passion and a real hunger to learn more, and she's already asked me when she can do it again. Thank you, Veritas Debate Academy and Shane Krauser, for pouring into the next generation of liberty-minded leaders—this is exactly what our families and our nation need! ' The popularity of Veritas Debate Academy continues to grow, not just across Arizona but throughout the nation. Shane Krauser, a serial entrepreneur who is bringing Brooker's Founding Flavors Ice Cream to Arizona in late 2025, noted, 'We have found a niche within the homeschool world, and homeschooling families have embraced us as much as we have embraced them. I am so hopeful for our future.'
