[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone with lots of experience teaching intellectually capable students who have failed only because their work and family responsibilities as first-generation, low income undergraduates left them without the time and space to concentrate on their studies, I would argue that until we can support these students in making the most of their abilities, public funding shouldn't be available to intellectually incapable students (e.g. people with Down Syndrome) who because they come from middle-class homes consider it their right to attend "college" (i.e. outrageously expensive programs like this one at Vandy: https://peabody.vanderbilt.edu/departments/nextsteps/)[/quote]

WOW. The hate speech is really flowing on this forum today. [/quote]

Check your fragility. This isn't hate speech.

Not hate speech just stupid speech.  We can do both. And should. That we don’t is not a reason to punish one.  This is not an either or.   Find a way to get this done if you care.  [/quote]
