I merely typed it as i read the pamphlet. there may be a few typos but im not checking.



Tuition Free Higher Education And Civil Responsibility Act


We, the currently registered voters of the United States of America, hereby declare that an educated citizenry is the foundation of out government of, By and For we the people. The authors of the constitution of California wrote that:

"No people were ever enslaved, who knew and dared maintain the correlative rights and obligations of free and independent citizens. Knowledge of the laws, and their moral force and efficacy, thus becomes and essential element of freedom, and makes public education of primary importance. In this view, the constitution of California provides for and guarantees in the most ample manner, the establishment of common school, seminaries, and colleges, so as to extend the blessings of education through the land, and secure its advantages to the present and future generations." They further government, and hold to strict accountability, to those whom power is delegated. The price of liberty is eternal vigilance.

Therefore; we further declare that all public junior colleges, colleges and universities shall provide tuition free education to their students who are citizens and residents of that state, and that 20 year federal loans shall be made available for these full or part time students at a rate not to exceet 4% APR.

As the primary purpose of this act is to promote an educated citizenry as the foundation of our democracy, one class per day in matters related to local, state, and federal government issues shall be required for all public school students from the seventh thru the twelfth grades, and 20% of the total quarter or semester units taken by full or part time students in public higher education shall be required to be in classes related to these government issues.

Upon being approved and ratified by a majority of the currently registered voters of the United States this act shall immediately become law.


I was just walking in my cafeteria and this is the second time ive seen something even remotely radical/left on my campus. the first was just a simple questioning of capitalism.

the website that was printed on the pamphlet is bogus but i have not tried the email on it.


Thoughts?

Won't work, the rulers don't want smart people. Seriously. There is no reason to teach them anything about politics other than pro-USA propaganda

My understanding is that in california, public higher education institutions don't charge "tuition" because it is against the law, but rather charge you "fees" and there is some kind of way they get around this.

There is a way to get around it. its called a Board of Governors Fee Waiver. it basically covers all of the unit costs. Saves you about $300 if you are going to a JC/CC

My guess is that this was aiming to eliminate those "fees" and to also eliminate the cost of excessively priced books and living expenses for students.

I dont know much about the University of California and the California State University costs though. im currently enrolled in a CC
