I have believed for several years that our present model of post-high school education is broken. I am a big believer in trade schools. I personally have a B.S. And in my professional field, I am probably now at a point were an M.S. or PhD really would not help me be more effective at what I do. I might want an M.S. if I wanted a change in career--but I don't want to do that.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
In fact, President Thomas Jefferson had clarified, in a State of the Union address, that the states would first need to appropriately amend the Constitution to give Congress the power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate schooling purposes, something that the states have never done.
"On a few articles of more general and necessary use, the suppression in due season will doubtless be right, but the great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphases added].”—Thomas Jefferson : Sixth Annual Message to Congress
Justice Joseph Story later reflected on Jefferson’s words when he likewise pointed out that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to deal with intrastate schooling.
"The power to regulate manufactures, not having been confided to congress, they have no more right to act upon it, than they have to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws, of the states [emphases added]. Congress is empowered to lay taxes for revenue, it is true; but there is no power to encourage, protect, or meddle with manufactures." —Joseph Story, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1, Commentaries on the Constitution 2
They are trying to ruin this country down to the state level now.
That was my first thought, too.
It's really about collecting more banking information from everyone.

More like South Canada, perhaps?
(I speak as a non-indoctrinated Canadian.)
The fafsa is such bs.
Emancipate your children at least year before it needs to be filled out.
That is what i learned
Why stop with Financial Aid applications? How about early College Summer School admission for Antifa training in street tactics? Make friends, live in the dorms, become part of The Great Social Movement (GSM), and get credit towards graduation before the freshman year even begins.
Its already almost mandatory now. Unless you are paying for college in cash, you have to fill out a FAFSA (Federal Application for Student Aid). This is required to even get a scholarship or grant. Every student, even returning students, to higher education beyond High School is required/must fill out a FAFSA to get student aid. This even goes for those jobs on campus that are funded by the Federal Government. So why the legislation? It is already a mandatory requirement by the Feral Government. This is like having having fifteen agencies regulate and study what squirrels eat.
One thing about these stinking communists who now rule us, they generate enslavement absurdities using a time-tested recursion process...
Imagine what it will be like 3-months from now...
This is more red propaganda. They want commie brains bad! No way in hell would this family go along with this BS.
Illegal and immoral.
It is a lie to say everyone must go to college or trade school to succeed.
This is illegal information harvesting. It is unnecessary for those who will pay for their own college, their kids college, or not going to college.
So, does this mean they would have to force their parents to disclose all their sources of income? Is that the real point of this exercise?
If HS students haven’t learned enough to complete an application for something before HS, then they should not be allowed to graduate.
When I was in 3rd grade, we were taught how to write bank checks to PAY for something.
Now, it seems they want to teach HS kids how to BEG for taxpayers to GIVE them money.
Good comments. Completely agree.
