However, I don't think that it's simply acceptable to say, "Oh, well, there's inequity. That's just the way it is." If that had been the case for someone like Martin Luther King Jr., for example, there would have never been a leader for the civil rights movement. Perhaps in the U.S. African Americans would still find themselves in unjust and insubordinate roles to Whites. So, I refuse to stand by and say that the creation of an indentured educated class is acceptable. I think the U.S. should aspire for better and that their citizens should have access to either free or reasonably priced higher education. They should not be (a) misled by a corrupt student lending industry, (b) lied to about loan forgiveness programs (I am happy to provide you with evidence of such things), (c) and undermined by lenders. In the very least, borrowers should have certain rights. As it stands now, they are the dogs and the lenders are all-powerful. I refuse, absolutely refuse, to accept that as a reality. Reality can be changed and that's when people say no to inequity.Cryn Johannsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452412213997621242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3481083477379506990.post-74284931887346621402010-03-19T05:01:48.043-04:002010-03-19T05:01:48.043-04:00In every part of the world, we talk about the equi...In every part of the world, we talk about the equity, Every one talk about the equity, but you will not find any practical example all around the world.
