These kids want an education, and a parent who never had a chance also wants an education. But you see what you see even when the proof is right in front of you. Ask yourself why you can't see the truth. What has so poisoned your opinion of black and brown people, and what sources continue to poison you?

These students are going to college after finishing HS just like everyone else. Except they get to go for free. And so does one parent.

Thanks for calling it for what it was.
