College shouldn't be free you dongle. College should never be free. Ever. Because nothing is "free". It can free in the sense that YOU don't pay for it, but someone has to pay the staff. The pay gate is there for a reason. You don't want people going to college just for the forget of it. Now you could make arguments about the price of community college, sure, but to say we should have free college is silly.
yes I was referring to public colleges, not private universities. there has to be an attainable path to success for poor people or else they're just going to be stuck in the cycle.
as it stands, a lot of poor inner city black people focus less on school and more on practicing to put a square peg in a round hole to become a rapper or join the NBA, or otherwise see dealing drugs and robbing gas stations as a more reasonable path to success than tens of thousands of dollars of debt or even putting in the time and effort to get a GED.
