It is a terrible precedent. I completely disagree with Geoff Thompson. Also, who cannot afford to graduate? There is a loans system for those who go to University and what does that person have to do with slavery that was abolished a very long time ago? I have a local friend here who did not go to University because his Dad died young and he got a job and worked his way up. You don't have to go to University and if you do then you can save up and then go or you can take out loans. The idea that it has anything to do with slavery is ridiculous. It is insulting to the people of today as it is basically saying that they cannot compete without a hand held out. It is condescending.

Living in the past is no way to get ahead for the future. It is a dichotomy I see in the left. They are almost scared to let people rise or fall on their own merits and those alone.
