America was built on the principle of equal treatment. Equality for everyone.



All the white guys who owned land anyway.



I was thinking, isn’t financial aid for college students discrimination?

There’s kids that go to my school virtually for FREE, because they ‘qualify’.
Meanwhile, other kids are shelling out $30k/year.
And they both get the same education and resources.

Now consider if a hospital emergency room decided to treat the more ‘well-off’ patient first over the guy on welfare. The media would be all over this like NOO how can you do this its discrimination.
But for college tuitions, it seems like a non-issue.

discuss.



No wonder your car gets spit on.

Financial aid is generally given out based on how much you need it. It would be literally impossible for many students to go to college without need based aid, which would mean a less educated workforce with lower social mobility, which would slow the economy down in the long run. Thats a Bad Thing.
