10. Wonderful, but...

…..there are very progressive people that feel that charity by the super rich prevents and distracts from systemic change.

These kids shouldn't have to rely on the chance goodness, or whim, even, of a rich person.

It really is wonderful and this act will effect 100's of people, since every child here will have a changed life.

But we need free access to higher education for all our kids.

Please go see "Where To Invade Next" which shows so clearly how other countries are taking care of their young students. And how we aren't.
