They affirmed non discrimination. They did not strike down anything. They affirmed that colleges can't disciminate Based on race. They ended one of the more blatant forms of discrimination.

Max DeYoung

Absolutely, and so do six Honorable Justices.

Kurt Wallace

Giving preferential treatment for position, to a singular race or group is exactly what we're trying to improve. By continuing to allow such things as Affirmative Action, we perpetuate the age-old problem of raising one class above others. Neither justice or equality served in allowing it to remain.

Christopher Watson

We, as a Country should be beyond racisum at this point, the only reason it still exists is because we keep it alive by always talking about it, conversation doesn't always fix these types of problems. We have the laws in place, enforce them!

The Biden administration will argue Tuesday before the U.S. Supreme Court that it's legal.

We were 17-18 years old, and every single adult in power over us told us to go to college, get these loans to pay for it. Now we're in so much debt we can't afford to start families, buy homes, everything the other generations took for granted. Now we're "entitled" for complaining about it.

Jeanette Johnson

govt bailed out all the banks and car makers why the heck not

Jamie McAtee

So do you have regrets about going to college, regrets about what college you chose to go to ($$$$), or regrets that you now have to repay your debts like all of the rest of us for our schooling?

Felisha

My parents were able to own property because it was attainable to do so; just like college was way more affordable. We aren't entitled we are just rattled with debt and can't get out from under student loans.

Courtney Lucas

If we send these kids out into the world thousands of dollars in debt, we are setting them up for failure. If we punish them for educating themselves this is why we have such a huge poverty level.

Christopher Watson

None of the people living in the Projects or low income housing got there because they went to College, Keep it real.

Max DeYoung

I won't let their foolishness, or your foolishness drive me into poverty. We are not a communist country, nor are we going to be.

Jeffery Schuyler

Banks and billionaires got loan forgiveness and bailouts. That students don't get relief from predatory and outrageously overpriced tuition is obscene.

Tammy Shannon

Kids at this age are so young to make these decisions and college is so expensive these days. By the time they graduate they have $50,000+ in debt and are just getting started in their employment and all ready overwhelmed in debt.

You borrow money , you pay it back. Simple

Bostino

use your brain..

Mac Kinder

Creates more entitlement and irresponsibility

Abby Normal

If you are mature enough to take out a loan, then you should be mature enough to pay it back. Nobody made you take out a loan. If your field of study/ preferred career doesn't pay enough to support you and pay back your loans, then you chose poorly. You've just learned personal responsibility.

Max DeYoung

Felisha chose a profession that pays nothing, and blames others. LOL

Felisha

So because I chose social work as a career and spend 50 to 60 hours a week doing so, I should find a different career? Wait until you need a socialworker. I'm not saying I shouldn't pay loans back but there should be some Incentive working for our communities and our residents.

Christopher Watson

I have never asked anyone else to pay my bills, they should of had their priorities straight to begin with. 1, degree, 2. Career, 3. Pay off bills, 4. buy a new car, 5. Then you're ready for a relationship/marriage/and a house.

Terre Chambers

Absolutely not. Let them pay their own bills like the rest of us have.. They have already been given too much with no payments for three years. Make them pay

Randy Burson

I'm sick & tired of people with their entitlement attitude. I took out a student loan, I paid it off. If you took out a student loan, you pay it off.

Joseph Edward Trueblood

Max DeYoung

NO, Joseph Edward Trueblood. You are too irresponsible to start a family, and buy a home. Student loans won't buy common sense.

Max DeYoung

If you sign a contract, you fulfill the contract.
