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

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.
