The student government at Western Kentucky University on Tuesday voted in favor of giving free tuition to black students.
The schools Student Government Association passed a resolution by 19-10 supporting slavery reparations for black students in the form of free tuition and free access to the public Bowling Green campus.
The resolution also recommends that the university create a task force to assess the feasibility of test-optional admissions and geographically-weighted admissions, claiming that some standardized testing poses a disadvantage for needy students and perpetuates inequality and white supremacy, The Bowling Green Daily News reported.

Back in the fall of 1980, when I took my senior seminar in Political Science at Indiana University, I realized very quickly that the prof was a total Bolshevik and the class should have been called Soviet Communism Here and Now. He advocated “workers controlling the means of production” and all of that. Having worked all summer in commercial construction, I realized what a really bad idea that was. He’d obviously never been to a construction site.
Anyway, it is my lasting regret that I did not have the balls to agree with him, and offer that students should control the means of production of GRADES. Then we could all vote ourselves an A+ for the semester, do away with the BS and head to Nick’s for a beer.
The students at WKU have acted no differently. It just proved the fallacy of when you turn responsibility over to those who are ill-suited to handle it.
They would have to raise tuition for white students. Eventually, it would be an all-black campus — with no tuition revenue.
Yep! Definitely the thing to do. Absolve them of ANY consciousness of responsibility whatsoever, and guarantee that they leave academe as total snowflakes, expecting, nay, DEMANDING a free ride for the rest of their miserable lives. MADE that way by unwise OVER-charity like this move.
And will it go to a Black student whose parents came here 20 years ago from Africa, thus never had any ancestors who were slaves in America? And are they going to bring back the old ‘racial blood tests’ of the Jim Crow era in the South?
You forgot those who merely self identify as black. /s
Whites are the patsies of the world. They have accepted the brainwashing of the last 60 years.
Why don’t they just give free diplomas to all blacks and skip the tiresome classes?
Equal protection under the law has been dead for decades. Affirmative Action started it all.
Trump is going to have to step in and end this nonsense.
The “chilcren” should not be running things.
Trump is going to have to step in and end this nonsense.
The “children” should not be running things.
Are these snowflakes going to step aside for a black when they are trying to get a job? This stuff is easy when it doesn’t cost YOU anything.
Utter stupidity on display here. The student government needs to be disbanded.
Yes, today the vote of these “Student Leaders” is entirely symbolic.
But in 15 or 20 years, they won’t be students any more. They will still be leaders. That’s the scary part.
Weeeel, at that point they’d have to reinstate tuition for blacks. And since there were ONLY blacks there anymore, that would be RACIST.
You get what you pay for....................
Ah, the soft racism of lowered standards.
Half price....................
But in 15 or 20 years, they wont be students any more. They will still be leaders. Thats the scary part.
So a degree from the sh*thole will be highly prized and very valuable
If my kids voted for that, and I was paying then I think I wouldn’t pay any more.
I wonder want a parent vote would show.
Actually, I wonder what only kids who are paying themselves think about this.
