there would be no social justification for giving free tuition to students from wealthy families.

I think this is a Fantastic Find..
Education should be a free resource for all..
It should have always been ans "Inclusive" Enviroment
instead of an "Exclusive" Enviroment..
Thanks so much for the posting! Great Find! Great Job!

Everytime I mention the frivolties of school sports I feel like the word goes out to organize a mob to burn crosses. Some folks just have to have their football or basketball.

It boggles the mind when one stops to consider the vast number of illiterate nincompoops who have taken up valuable space with nothing more than sports scholarships going for them.
