Which is why I'm confused by your response.
What's to be confused about? I have problems with federal money going to private schools of any stripe, and absent places like the U of C that regularly subsidize tuition based on need or family relationship, private schools' tuition is ridiculous
Millions of dollars a year go to loans for private colleges and universities.
MANY don't take that into consideration when they state that public money should never go to private education.
But Brick and others (yourself included) have correctly brought that up for years. And I agree.
The larger question is, who would subsidize that level of borrowing on a private scale in order to help others pay for college?
And we all know the answer is no one. So, short of public funds being made available, there would not be any college for MANY.
think you're trying to create an argument that doesn't exist. Yes the government backs student loans, but like people have said, that is paid back with interest. If there is free money from the public for this, then could you let me know how to get some of that thrown my way when my check to the Dioscese is due next month?
First off, nothing is free. But there are Pell Grants and subsidized non-interest loans as well. Grants don't have to be paid back at all.
And they are given to people going to private colleges all of the time.
