Education is not a privilege, it's a duty. Higher education should be a right, imho.
If this country is going to continue to be the greatest in the world, then it needs to be serious about cultivating home grown talent, helping it fulfill it's true and full potential. Educated people contribute far more to the country's bottom line in the form of taxes than they ever take out.
Anyway, I saw the following on DailyKos, and figured I'd add my 5 cents: Stanford just announced it will drop tuition for students whose families make less than $100k/year. Of course, Stanford can afford to do this because it has a $17 Billion endowment, but this is still a big step in the right direction, and overdue.
Hopefully, this is the start of a trend. God knows we need it.
