I was registering for pre calculus at the college, and a science major was voicing her dismay regarding the budget cuts to education affecting her advancement. The woman sitting behind the computer seemed annoyed at the conversation between the girl and I. As soon as the science major left, the worker said, "she should be grateful the state is paying for her education, at all."
The state pays for rehabilitation without question, yet people in America assume educating a potential scientist is a priveledge?
What do we prioritize in America, welfare or brains? A poor science major has potential which should not be regarded as a luxury. The federal government prioritizes the frivolties of mismanaged corporations with bailouts which invest in a new Mercedes. Yet, giving a bright young student a chance in life is something she is fortunate to possess. Let us never question the priveledged nor their affect on delaying a college students graduation.
The moral of this story is that even though class does not exist in nature, it matters more than a genetic predospisition to science in the United States. And in America, only the elite deserve an education.
