College isn't necessary but should be accesible to all, giving everyone an equal opportunity to do more and be well educated, the only issue would be job opportunities would be harder to guarantee, but this could be avoided if these students end up making their own businesses in the process.

Having college be free for all would lose the value for degrees and the job market would be competitive and hard to get a job. Also, less funding would be provided for most college resulting in less resources because most universities rely on tuition.

 @B7YTLXY from Indiana  disagreed…8mos8MO

College is a choice, and gives you a better education, therefore giving you more opportunities. I do think the cost of college should be lowered though.

 @B7WP6RT  from Washington  disagreed…8mos8MO

Although free college sounds like a luxury, only a few people deserve to be educated and it all depends on their mindset. Some individuals aren't as motivated and dedicated to actually learning, the only thing they want is a job that makes money. If people don't have the ture dream to learn and adapt to their profession, the world would be dealing with many careless "professionals" in their day to day life.

If collage is free for all then collages would severely decline and the education you are receiving from it will not be nearly as valuable. This would also increase tax payer dollars significantly and cause the general public to have less spending money hurting the economy. You could argue that this extera education would race the economy as people would be better educated and be able to do more by starting bussnises etc.. but I believe the cons out way the pros. Along with this collage drop out rates would increase. I believe that we need to keep our collage grants and assistance but if we…  Read more

Promote and up funding for community colleges but keep higher end colleges private. But to counter increasing tuition prices, give students more options to better acquire scholarships.

 @B7Y52XDDemocrat from Texas  agreed…8mos8MO

Yes colleges should stop being so greedy we would have many lawyers, doctors, and educated people, which limiteds most Americans is money

 @B7XM7HYLibertarian from Texas  agreed…8mos8MO

yes I think college should be available for all, everyone has the choice to be who they want or have a career.

 @B7XHQY7 from New Jersey  agreed…8mos8MO

Yes it isn't necessary for all people to go but if they are looking to become some sort of professional it should be required.

 @B7XG5CW from Washington  agreed…8mos8MO

It is a nice idea, but realistically should not happen because attending a college is a personal choice, so the financial burden should not be placed on a group or person that is not the one who wants to attend the college.

 @B7XFM96 from Illinois  agreed…8mos8MO

College should be free. If you want people to have a higher chance to succeed college is a fabulous option. And giving free college will give so many people the chance to succeed.

 @B7XF5C7Republican from Texas  agreed…8mos8MO

I agree with free college for all because people trying to progress in their life through college, and if the person doesn't have the money to pay for college, it would be unfair to not let them in at all.

 @B7XF2TW from California  agreed…8mos8MO

I think giving the choice of a free college is a great option because more people can finally do what they wanted to do their whole lives instead of worry about debt and going straight to a workforce.

 @B7XDZFP from North Carolina  agreed…8mos8MO

Not a lot of people are able to afford college but if people were able to, there would be less homelessness as it would open up job opportunities to keep people on their feet.

 @B823D2M from Michigan  agreed…8mos8MO

I agree, people should have access to higher education and then the amount of unstable income families will be greatly reduced and Americans in general will be more educated.

 @B7Z67VJ from Washington  agreed…8mos8MO

I think college should not be free but have more financial options for those who are poor. also college in general should be cheaper.

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.

A Moment of Darkness': Washington Post's No-Endorsement Decision Ignites Media Firestorm

Even though the presidential race between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris is neck and neck, The Washington Post has decided not to make a presidential endorsement for the first time in 36 years, the publisher and CEO announced Friday."We are returning to our roots of not endorsing presidential candidates," Will Lewis wrote in an opinion piece published on the paper's website. He referenced the paper's policy in the decades prior to 1976, when, following the Watergate scandal that the Post broke, it endorsed Democratic nominee Jimmy Carter. The last time the Post did not endorse a presidential candidate in the general election was 1988, according to a search of its archives.Colleagues learned the news from the editorial page editor, David Shipley, at a tense meeting shortly before Lewis' announcement. The meeting was characterized by someone with direct knowledge of discussions on condition of anonymity to speak about internal matters.Shipley said that he told other editorial board leaders Thursday by management that there would be no endorsement, though he has known for weeks. He added that he "owns" this decision. The reason he cited was to create "independent space" where the newspaper does not tell people for whom to vote.Colleagues were said to be "shocked" and uniformly negative. Post corporate spokespeople have not responded to multiple messages left by NPR on the subject.Former Washington Post Executive Editor Martin Baron, who led the newsroom to acclaim during Trump's presidency, denounced the decision starkly."This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty," Baron said in a statement to NPR. "Donald Trump will celebrate this as an invitation to further intimidate The Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos (and other media owners). History will mark a disturbing chapter of spinelessness at an institution famed for courage."A similar decision by Los Angeles Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong led this week to the resignations of the paper's editorials editor and two editorial board members. Soon-Shiong said that he had asked the editorial board to draft a "factual analysis" of Trump and Harris' policies and plans. In her resignation letter, editorials editor Mariel Garza said the decision made the paper look “craven and hypocritical,” given its past reporting and editorials on Trump.
