Harvard Law activists demand free tuition as a matter of racial justice

A group of Harvard Law School activists are demanding the graduate school do away with tuition fees, which they argue are “racially biased.”

Members of the group Reclaim Harvard Law School published an open letter Sunday addressed to Law School Dean Martha L. Minow and members of the Harvard Corporation — the University’s highest governing body — demanding an end to tuition costs that they argue impose an unfair financial burden on students of color, The Harvard Crimson reported.

Tuition at the law school will rise to $59,550 for the 2016-2017 academic year, and students are graduating with an average of $149,754 in debt, according to the law school’s website. Reclaim Harvard Law called the trend “outrageous” and asserted, “as a matter of justice, education should be free.”

lol. They could make food, lodging, tuition, entertainment, doctor visits and massages free if it doesn’t come from my pocket.

See how quickly enrollment declines.

All these jerks want free stuff. Well, there is a way to get free stuff: make people slaves. The jerks don’t understand that in the end, THEY will be the slaves.

Oh yeah, and I will laugh at the jerks.

Sadly, other people will be caught up in the mess. Sigh.

why not just let black folks walk into any banks they like and say “Give me your money”? Aren’t they due other people’s money because of ‘racial injustice’? Shouldn’t every white person be bankrupt because black people were sold as slaves by their own countries?

Make them work for free for 5 years to pay taxpayers back for their “free education.”

Why even go to Harvard? Just sit on your ass with your hand out demanding that the country owes you a living as a matter of Social Justice.

Every student, every graduate and every professor of Harvard Law should be exiled to Attu.

Tattoo an “HL” on their foreheads, and if they are ever spotted anywhere else, they can be legally shot on sight.

Economists call a thing a “good” if the more of it you have, the better off you are.

Are they better off with a Harvard JD..?

I’m not so sure.

Actually I’m not sure about VERY many majors, and very many people with degrees in those majors.

After seeing what passes for normal on so many college campuses, I think maybe the students should EARN tuition, in return for the favor they do the Universities, for showing up to listen to that vile, ridiculous sophistry.

Harvard Law School graduates have a starting salary of $125k, and they want other people to pay their tuition too? These snowflakes are too delicate for the real world.
