And what about the rest of the United States??? Do they also get free salary, free room and board, free lunch, free clothes, free foreign SUV, might as well throw in free house with free utilities. O and health care also. Why not try reading ALL of the OP's message... It's Hope Chicago... CHICAGO, CHICAGO, CHICAGO... Not the entire USofA... |

Why else leave home at such an early age. Hard enough our kids leaving for college at 17 but best for them to go to college and learn to take care of themselves. But a 14 year old? Surely you jest.

What a wonderful story. Thank you for posting. Good luck to these kids and the parents who are able to join in.

For clarification, a philanthropist is donating his money to allow low-income high school students in five CHICAGO high schools to attend college next year along with one parent. Can you imagine how this will impact their lives to have this opportunity? What an amazing, kind and generous offer.

I disagree. The NRA is ULTIMATELY responsible for the glut of handguns and long guns in the US. Discrimination breeds hatred of one group for another. Education HELPS eliminate that hatred. Public schools in the inner city often are underfunded. Jokes about books in this situation are inappropriate - and more the problem than the solution.

And another person who sees black and goes on the attack. If this "culture" does not value education and will not take advantage of this opportunity, why are the students so excited about getting the chance? You simply cannot see what your mind is not open enough to see. The truth is right in front of you. Where there was not hope, there now is hope.

[QUOTE=blueash;2066908]Wow, just wow. Did you read the story?? Or are you simply blinded by the sheet over your eyes? These are low income students who are excited, enthusiastic, overwhelmed at the chance to get an advanced education. These are not what your white colored glasses are claiming is reality. 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?[/QUOTE
They want a FREE education . What will that free education get them in the real world? A better job at Verizon ? We need more people that are willing to work for what they receive . There are tons of college grants for kids who make excellent grades and deserve them |

Not true at all. Ban books, rat on anybody LBGTQ and don’t teach history. That’s what people think make for a good education? I’ll pass on that.
