Free College Tuition for Juvenile Offenders?

[Sonsie]

This is insane in so many ways. Hey, you poor kids with good grades and clean records, nothing for you schmucks but college loans to pay off.

Free College Tuition for Juvenile Offenders?

State lawmakers are considering a bill that would grant free college tuition for some juvenile offenders. Supporters say it's a way to encourage troubled youth to get their lives back on track. John Dixon, Deputy Secretary for the MD Department of Juvenile Services says, "The kids the department serves face a lot of obstacles and challenges when they return to the community. This bill will allow kids who are interested in attending public institution to go there tuition free." LINK​

cool, im going to get my daughter to shoot someone during a robbery attempt.
then She gets the free college and I get to party on the money set aside for that purpose.

I like it.

 

[vraiblonde]

Okay, at what point are we going to stop rewarding criminals?

 

[The_Twisted_Ear]

That is so darn frustrating. I just finished paying for my daughter's BS. It is as though you are penalized for being a law abiding citizen, going to work everyday and paying outrageous taxes and then the government decides to give a free ride who decided to take a shortcut in life.

Remember kids "Crime DOES pay, and there's a benefits package too!!"

 

[White Buddah]

Remember kids "Crime DOES pay, and there's a benefits package too!!"

And all you have to do is find some college somewhere that will accept your dumba$$. After that, you will be making 10 times more than the goodie twoshoes you sat behind.

What the #### is wrong with these people? :

So, let me get this straight. I have to pay thousands of dollars that I don't have to get my college education, but I'd get a free education if I had been a dope smoking pistol totin' gangster in high school?



These people are morons.

Sucks, doesn't it?

Indeed. If they're going to give free tuition to anybody, it should be those of us who obeyed the laws, got good grades, studied hard and worked for what we've got.

Instead, once more, I get shafted by the People's Socialist Democratic Republic of Maryland. Only, this time it's so law breaking criminals can get a free education.

UFB.

Law abiding citizens should not be penalized ....



Maybe try do redirect them from a life of crime ....

But then it should be available to everyone ....... I do not see many gang bangers wanting to head off to U of Md .... unless it is to find more victims


maybe the person that did one crime, but not career criminals

 

[AndyMarquisLIVE]

What about people with a clean record?

Maybe try do redirect them from a life of crime ....

But then it should be available to everyone ....... I do not see many gang bangers wanting to head off to U of Md .... unless it is to find more victims

Shouldn't we offer free tuition to those who have a clean record? Everyone, not just a few. You meet a 3.5-4.) or higher GPA in high school and have no criminal record, free tuition.

These are the type of people that want to go to college.

This bill is so effing stupid.
