Sigh....

Dumb

I wouldn't pay it. But, then again, who pays that much money to go to a dive that nobody has ever heard of like that?

It's only thirty bucks. The only reason it is a big deal is because it is for an underprivileged minority. If it was for white kids nobody would say a word.

Here is the schools motto...

"For the Liberal Arts, the Environment, and Social Justice"

It's really a non-story. The school is a glorified lunatic asylum.

No that is common and in Arizona white people are a minority pretty much.
Are there any scholly set aside for white people in the USA at any colleges or universities?

In classic liberal fashion they couldn't ask for donations to achieve their goal they have to require everybody to support their opinion.

If you pay $30k/year to go to something called "Prescott College", you are a moron.

Yep, just ANOTHER reason NOT to go to that school.

Yeah I would. Everyone knows White kids never need anyone's help

Google says that they have an undergraduate enrollment of 464.

At $30 per student, they could fund one illegal rapist to attend their college every 3 or 4 years.

Hope they dont teach economics at the school.

Hilarious. Another precious creation of the academic left.

No mention of learning how to, for instance, read English, understand maths, write a cover letter and a resume, and all the other things a responsible college should prepare future adults.

However, I give him credit for using the term "activist." Because that is what they will become.

(As the US gets more fussy about American citizens showing their papers on demand, it’s funny – funny weird, not funny ha ha – that they’re getting less so fussy with foreigners. Here is an open scholarship for an illegal immigrant with nary a fear of the US government intervening...)

I think it's fantastic because in the end, schools should seek and reach out to kids with potential regardless of their immigration status.

So the left isnt happy with just screwing up the education of americans, they want to reach out and screw it up for illegals too?

I guess hurting American citizens in the process is of no concern to you?

Hey may not have been able to hear you if he wrapped himself up too tightly in his mexican flag.....

The gist of the idea is admirable... private institution tacks on a little bit to each student's tuition toward a scholarship (and if a student doesn't like it, don't go there).

I just don't understand why the lucky recipient is an illegal immigrant. There are no poor natives or legal immigrants in Arizona this fund could help out? You're only eligible if you just climbed over the wall unannounced?

Yeah, it's stupid. Even dumber is these illegals get "in state" tuition even though they are from a different country. Makes no sense whatsoever when even American citizens living in different states can not get the same treatment.
