When a service is free, YOU are the product.

What?! No free car, house and boat?

Quit pampering them in High School with SJW and Sexploitation classes and they won’t need community college.

[Amendment10]

”… with lawmakers pushing for the state California taxpayers to cover the cost of two years ..."

There! Fixed it.

We’ll find out where the threshold of pain for California taxpayers is.

[Amendment10]

"Democrats poised to offer two years of free community college [indoctrination]"

There! Fixed another one.

I assume this will be available for all of the illegals in CA, as well.

Seems like the students might be more motivated to succeed if they have skin in the game. Will they have to pay anything back if they don’t go to class or fail?

What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.

Any HR person will tell you that two years of community college now is the equivalent of a high school diploma from the 1960’s.

[nopardons]

Will these community colleges be forced to accept EVERYONE, whether they can read above the third grade level or not?

What if they get Fs in every class, or almost every class...do they get a "FREE" second year to repeat those classes?

santiago thinks we should spend tax payer money to strengthen the middle class. WTF did this come from?

Oh boy, free stuff for everybody!

You’re going to need a graduate degree to stock shelves.

Say goodbye to Prop 13.

“Free” ... yeah, right. What kind of new tax will they come up with for this “free” benefit?

[mad puppy]

It sounds so obviously good on the surface, who could possibly oppose this, right?

But ‘free’ is NEVER free. It only covers tuition; not fees; not transportation; not books; not housing; not food.... which means the truly poor still can’t go.

You ever notice that when something is handed to you, you don’t place any value on it? When you PAY for it, however, you put value on it. You take it seriously. That is why you have kids in HS that do not give 1 flying @#$%@ about it.

Also, will students be allowed to go to ANY CC in Calif for free, or only the CC closest to them? IOW’s, is there school choice or not? Asking for a friend.
