'40 acres and a mule' for the 21st century.

[WalterMitty]

any minority that graduates high school with a gpa over a certain level, let's say 3.2, should be promised a spot in state university, with tuition, books, room and boards paid for by the state.

agree?

[WalterMitty]

At $50K+ per student for classes alone?  No way.  I could go with a $10K/year scholarship per student over 3.5, but nothing more than that.  And that is only if the state offsets the costs by reducing funding from somewhere else in the states spending to keep taxes the same.

perhaps wed offset the cost by keeping young black males out of prison?

education=a good investment.

by the way this wouldnt have to be entirely a government unded adventure.  id expect private corporations to step up to the plate.

maybe even smith&wesson would donate some money.  they (should) have a guilty conscience.

Maybe you should fund it since it was your idea.

BTW Do you ever have ideas based on Republican philosophy?

um.  actually, dave, 40 acres and a mule was a republican idea.

Not your version of it.

so i shouldnt be a republican because some libertarian doesnt think im republican enough?

i was born into a republican family.  ive been a registered republican since i first registered to vote in 1995.  ive voted for every republican nominee for president since my registration.  i vote mainly republican down ballot also.

are those qualifications good enough?
