"The difference is, if my household was making under $45,000 a year, I would choose not to have more than one child."

Now, I feel youre just arguing for the sake of argument.

I know a pastors family, with four daughters (Pastors bye the bye, dont make much money, unless of course theyre televangelists or something).

All the girls went to college. All had scholarships. All are extremely bright. One is finishing up her PhD in physics, and works at LLNL. The other is finishing her masters at Harvard. The other two are in college as we speak. These people will be valuable additions to society in the United States.

Should they not have been allowed to have become so?

Sure, maybe they would hav got loans, and used em. But its even better than they dont have to! And I bear them no grudge, even though I paid my way through college.

This is where you and I differ.

If someone gets a scholarship through a private charity or merit scholarship or something like that, I have no problem. I'm saying that this famously liberal school is looking to fill a need - I suspect it's to increase their minority population just to look more diverse (and that doesn't mean that many won't deserve to be there academically). But like I said, someone has to pay for this. And usually, just as it happens with athletic scholarships, the students who DO pay their tuition have to make up for it.
