In college it's assigned and you're expected to defend the assigned position. You also get switched in subsequent issues modules so you don't get pigeonholed and nobody can just stay on the side they like.

Yeah that's how I experienced it but it sounds like this story was from high school and telling students to segregate themselves like that seems super fucked up.

I agree, that's basically asking someone to other themselves. It would be a great test if you wanted to see which students needed support and counseling. But not as some kind of learning objective.
