@hightor,
If you believe that society should allow everyone to have equal access to an education, free college is a right that has been denied—not a ‘pony.’
As a teacher, I do everything I can to make socioeconomically disadvantaged young people get off a path toward self-destruction and on a path to self-fulfillment using the best thing this country does for them—a free education up to 12th grade.
The promise is this free public education is a stepping stone to the equalizer of college.
They hit me every time with with unaffordability. With what we all know about ruined millennial lives because of the predatory student loan lending, I feel wrong giving these kids this hope.
American youth deserve free access to an education.
You Hillary people can snort over cocktails, though, and refer to an education as ‘ponies’ for the average people.
I despise those people.
