The true high cost of College Education.
It is not only the monetary cost to regular folks and taxpayers, but the ignorance of those hired to teach.
Let’s go through his collegiate statement.
The US does not have any national ID system
Kinda sorta right. It is up to the individual states to issue IDs for that state, but it has slowly turned into a national “system” with TRUE ID.
and many states don’t have ID systems
Huh? Is there a State in the union without an ID system? No drivers license? He does not mention which states, probably because he made that up.
Historically, some southern states have put all kinds of requirements to stop black people from voting.
And historically your birthplace sent people to the guillotine without due process and was the proud owner of Devil’s Island. And you would be speaking German if it wasn’t for the racist Southerners that fought to liberate France. But the past is one thing, and the present another.
Some of those are still in place. Requiring an ID that is difficult to obtain, or expensive is one such way to deny people the right to vote.
Well, I am a minority and live in the South. How hard was for me to get a license in Tennessee? I went online (Harsh, I know), made an appointment, showed up at my local licensing office, produced the required documents, paid the exorbitant fee of $28, had my picture taken and went home. It was a crowded day, so I probably spent about 40 minutes total. Got the license in the mail some days later. If I wanted only the State ID, it would have set me back all of $12. In some locations, you may get charged an extra $4 (I know, the horror) for administrative fee to cover operational costs.
So, a grand total of $16 for an ID that can be used for voting purposes is apparently burdensome and racist. The poor minorities are better off going to the movies than wasting their hard-earned cash on an ID to vote.
Hmmm… maybe not.
