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.

I would agree with you if all education was private and not secured by taxes.
As long as it is secured by taxes, then it - what the taxes help - should go where it is most needed as a government operation, which usually means where it is needed most.
So IF, and I say IF, we are dealing with a tax-supported education institution, and if we are talking about handing out “free tuition” then I’d simply rather see it go to where the student is academically qualified but most in need of the tuition assistance. At least THAT would not prejudice anyone due to their race or ethnicity.
When we no longer are already tax supporting such schools to start with, then I’ll agree with you.
Are these generous students going to foot the bill?
So they get into college on their skin color, they get free tuition, they get promoted because they are black in spite of failure, they get job offers that whitey doesn’t get, they get to accuse anyone on the job of racism to cover up for their failures, and after all that they still blame us for their self-inflicted failures.
Slave Reparations? Are there many 150 year old students attending the college?
So called White Guilt is out of control.
I know...I was being funny...
They already get preference on jobs. Damn quota driven society.
Speed up to the Civil War. I won't debate the merits but will say that Lincoln also did the wrong thing by not humanly sending every single former slave and extended family back to be repatriated. The consequences upon our republic and Constitution are devastating for not doing this.
All of this garbage of reparations and activism is the liberal machine behind the scenes that is determined to destroy America. These imbecile kids are the useful idiots and always have been.
