“College is today what high school was 50 years ago,” Cuomo said on a radio interview Sunday on AM 970 in New York City.

True. The subjects I took in HS are now college level courses.................

The governor’s office estimates that the program will cost the state $163 million.

No, it will cost the New York taxpayers $163 million.

Speeding up the indoctrination process.

NY taxpayers will now give the country free college.

A smart play would have been to open trade schools instead.

So why not make high school better instead of picking the pockets of taxpayers?

Any grade point restrictions that are imposed for qualifying will be declared inherently racist.

This is NOT a reward to families and students. This is just another way of perpetually funding the educational industrial establishment, and insuring they need do nothing to deserve that funding. They don’t have to defend their costs, their rise in tuition, their bloated administration, tenure, political bias or anything else. The state - in the name of “rewarding the children” will insure academia survives, unreformed, unrepentent and as costly and biased as ever.

“If you’re a young person who wants success and a career, a college education is necessary.

That is absolute BS.

I know several very successful people that didn’t graduate college. I know several college graduates that haven’t had such great success.

There are a lot of people that would be better off as electricians, welders, HVAC technicians, plumbers, etc., than they would with a masters in history, psychology, urban studies, sociology, etc.

It’s a big lie.

So they want 13th grade?

Are they going to eliminate the need for SAT and ACT tests too?

Cuomo is out of his mind. If the state has money for this kind of welfare program it should cut its budget a whole lot. (Hire me. I will reduce the taxpayers’ load by 50%)

I don’t think this is fair to tax people who already have raised their kids and paid for their education. Why should they have to pay for someone else’s kids to go to college?

This is socialism at work!

now they’re going to be overrun with people who are not cut out for college, and they will have to lower their standards, demeaning the value of a college education, just because it makes the democrats feel better...

we already have programs that make it quite cheap.

Maybe make it conditional that the kid gets a summer job.

Taxes will go up, business will fire people to stay in business and/or move out of state. Result in many more ‘educated’ people unemployed.
Taxes will need to go up to pay for the welfare and they are now in a loop. Not to worry. The politicians get the free car, insurance and extra daily stipend pay for showing up to work.

The free college degree will be as worthless as the free high school degree.
