California, notorious for being the leader in unconventional, often bizarre, lifestyle choices and political quackery, has added a new cause to the “Occupy” nonsense.
Sparked by pampered, out-of-touch brats posing as students, the latest in-vogue outrage is called “What About the Constitutional Right to Low College Tuition?” See reference.
Of course there is no such guarantee, explicit or implied, in any local, state or federal law. That bitter truth notwithstanding, California’s young have been raised to believe that what so ever they shall desire is bequeathed to their greedy generation somewhere in the Constitution.
The challenge is to root out the applicable law (regardless of how contrived)to match their special needs and then ORGANIZE, PROTEST, MARCH, and DEMAND immediate redress for grievances, real or imagined.
Of course, the issue always comes down to money. “Who is going to pay the bill for acceding to student demands?”
Again, because they have been raised in California, students here do not waste a great deal of energy, physical or intellectual, on trivial matters like cost.
The urgent priority is to provide every student with a quality college education, regardless of costs, state budget constraints, or law.
According to the brain-washed California student, the solution is always “Tax the Wealthy!” a Marxist, anti-American notion that is a byproduct of living in a state dominated by liberals and governed by Jerry Brown, rightfully known as “Moon Beam” for his eccentric, loony-left politics.
And yes, that is the same recycled Jerry Brown who mismanaged California thirty-six years ago, the same fellow who then went on to destroy Oakland as Mayor, and who has earned a living by working against the interests of California citizens at the state and local levels for decades!
Governor Brown, the left-wing radical who recently signed the “Dream” Act which makes illegal aliens eligible for in-state tuition.
Imagine that?
California allows illegal aliens to qualify for lower tuition while raising the tuition of citizens?
But perhaps Moon Beam Brown has inadvertently stumbled upon a solution for the tuition crisis facing students who also happen to be citizens?
The Brown solution: Students interested in low -cost education should renounce their US citizenship, move to Mexico, and then invade America as illegal aliens!
As illegal aliens, students will automatically be eligible for lower-tuition, food stamps, housing, free medical care, and free legal counsel!
Once again, progressive insanity overwhelms common sense American values!
