I really don’t get this mindset that somehow giving people that are already at a significant disadvantage an opportunity is worthwhile. They already have a system in place that allows these students to prove themselves in Community Colleges and earn their way in UC or Cal State schools. Why are we allowing disadvantaged groups to run up a bunch of debt in a 4 year college that they’re likely to fail at? Get a part time job, and go to a community college. If you figure out you can hack it then transfer.[/quote]
Because it makes people like CAR “feel better.” 40 years of treating liberal bleeding hearts and we are nowhere better at fixing the chronic disadvantage of Hispanics and Blacks.
