Campus groups from each individual school have their own specific demands to end “racial discrimination” on their respective campuses. Collectively, the 73 schools all want the following: 1) WE DEMAND at the minimum, Black students and Black faculty to be reflected by the national percentage of Black folk in the country 2) WE DEMAND free tuition for Black and indigenous students 3) WE DEMAND a divestment from prisons and an investment in communities Armed with the hashtag #StudentBlackOut, these groups are planning a second day of action in support of their list of demands. Last month, Breitbart News covered the #MillionStudentMarch which was widely mocked on social media and met with lackluster national student support. 
Organizing members of the Black Liberation Collective from Harvard University to the University of Missouri have released a list of demands they want met at predominately white colleges as well as historical black universities.

Fine. The WE demand you join the military. THEN you'll get your free tuition. But here's a news flash. It won't do you any good. You're probably not gonna graduate anyways.
They could probably get a degree in something like Minority Studies. However, who would want any such petulant, whiny idiots as employees? I doubt they could even get a job with Negroes, Inc. or as Jesse Jackson's houseboy.
The demand for those graduates is right up there with Engineering. But if I were King, here's the deal. You go to school for whatever degree you want. It's a free country. But if you want a federal college loan, we're only giving those to students getting a degree for an occupation a) in demand, b) useful to the U.S. and c) with a salary large enough for you to pay back the money. But that makes too much f**king sense.
Excellent idea, risk reward type of loan. That would gut the innards of the Education Industrial Complex, is the reason it will never be policy.

Yep. "More than $1.2 trillion in outstanding student loan debt, 40 million borrowers, an average balance of $29,000." And what did we get for that $1.2 trillion? Graduates with degrees in overcrowded fields, with degrees in useless majors, a doubling of tuition, and massive underemployment/unemployment ("47 percent of college g graduates did not find a first job that was related to their college major"). Given that they have to repay those loans, that means $1.2 trillion is taken out of the economy and instead sent to the government.
