The ENTIRE education system is a money laundering operation for the CommieCrats.

Education could be free. Just put it on the internet. The Democrats don’t want “free” education, they want to buy votes by giving away money.

>>The NEA wants free government schools from K-16.<<

If President Trump finishes his 8 years without eliminating both NEAs I will consider his Presidency 50% successful at best.

The Bill should cut the Brick and Mortar Colleges’s by 90%.

Make max Prof pay 3x minimum wage per actual hour of instruction.

That's the best way to put a stop to campus radicalism. Make them follow their own rules! Alinsky 101.

Anyone can pay for their own college. Anyone. Get a part-time job. Apply for grants. Do a hitch in the military. Get a students loan and then major in something that will land you a job where you can pay it back. Don’t live on campus. If work and finances mean you have to stretch it out for 6 years, so be it.

There are plenty of options. How bad do you want it?

We already have that program in St. Charles County, Missouri, the A+ program. The students need to graduate high school with a certain grade point average, have good attendance and do a certain number of hours of community service and they have 2 years paid community college. Not sure the exact details. Been a while since my children went to high school.

Not a new idea. I attended Mt. Sac junior college in Walnut Calif. Tuition Free in the late 1960’s. 18 months, AA degree.

Legal services should be free.

Let’s see how the Trial Lawyers/DNC feel about that!

Federal funding means that the tuition if being picked up by the taxpayers, the majority of who would not approve of it if it were put to a vote.

Free means somebody else is paying for it, and as long as the receivers are shielded from the givers, those receivers don’t give a damn.

The Democrats want to bankrupt our government.

And then blame Trump.

“...book learned...”

and the books they use will be pure bs propaganda to supplement and continue the socialism mantra already taught in K -12

My search for community college tuition found a range from about $100-$200/credit hour.

At 15 credits hours/semester, that’s $3,000 to $6,000/year.

Maryland apparently is going the free CC tuition route.

Yes, and they should eliminate all the college professors’ cushy benefits and retirement to pay for this. That’ll work.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper to just mail everyone a diploma granting PhD status in “Gender and Marxist Cultural Studies”?

I would be willing to support a free college education for anyone who majors in hard STEM and maintains at least a 3.0 GPA. Otherwise, eff ‘em!
