Scandal - Wondering Why So Many People Are On Food Stamps? - Colleges Directing Students to Welfare


Borrowed from the great Daily Caller - Thank you

Many American colleges and universities are steering their students toward a new source of “financial aid”: food stamps.
In Oregon, for instance, both Portland State and Pacific University encourage their students to apply for food stamps. “Many students are surprised to learn that they may be eligible for Food Stamps,” explains Portland State’s website.
This may be a little surprising given that food stamps were created to help struggling poor people, not heavily-subsidized and frequently-idle college kids. But have no fear, assures, Portland State: “Being a college student is hard work! Not just academically, but financially too.”
Far from framing the decision to apply for food stamps as a last resort, the university’s website makes taking government handouts sound like a moral imperative. “As tuition increases, many students struggle to make ends meet,” the site explains. “Sometimes grants and loans don’t stretch far enough and students are forced to work low-paying jobs. For some, this still is not enough to get by. Having to choose between buying groceries or a $125 textbook is a tough decision that many students have been forced to make at some point in their college careers. As if taking a full class load wasn’t stressful enough!”
On its website, Odessa College in Texas describes food stamps as a form of “financial assistance.” Bellingham Technical College in Washington State walks its students through the process of applying for food stamps step-by-step.
In Iowa, Des Moines State University lists food stamps information on its financial aid page, while Iowa State University recommends that students struggling with food costs go on the dole.

This is because our Country continues to feed the Blacks, they get College scholarships and grants before White kids do, The white kid can have better grades and be more qualified but if he wants that free College He has to join the Military. It is completely unfair. They also have studies showing that America is getting dumber, well when you give all of the College scholarships to the Lazy blacks Guess what, They are less educated as a group therefore makes the overall number look dumber than when the Majority was white.
