But no more. Since the Republicans have gutted education support; they even want to eliminate the Department of Education, and destroy the teachers unions, and privatize the public schools so they can teach creationism in biology class, and, and, and, and, and.

There is little left of support for bright students other than loans. The grant money has been cut off, and in case you haven't been paying attention, so are scholarships. The competition for scholarships is fierce to the point of being unhealthy, mainly because it's a dry well.

This country is selling its future in education. If you cannot see it, I don't know what else to say to you.
