This just serves to prove my idea that college is b.s. When I say that, people ask me what I mean. I tell them, look at the athletes. Total free ride b/c of who they are, while the rest of us slave away. Now another group gets a free ride b/c of who they are (queer). I've had to work for my college money as well as grades. This garbage makes me sick.

With a comment like that, I'm betting you spent very little time with any college athletes. Try keeping an athlete's schedule for a week and you'd change your mind.

The scholarships are for $1500. Not exactly a free ride. That'll pay for some books, food, beer, and parking tickets. "Nickel and dime" scholarships in the $500-$1500 range are everywhere and anyone can get a few for writing some essays. Most large companies offer them for good PR and tax purposes.

That said, I would love nothing more than to see some "Heterosexual White American Male" scholarships, just to see the liberals have a fit.
