I hate Newsom but I think this is a good idea. Education and support should be 100% free for those in the more difficult economic situations.

I don’t agree.

My parents are low middle class. We didn’t qualify for any financial aid and they were tasked with trying to find a way to send both my sister and I to college which they couldn’t afford.

So what did we do? Take out a bunch of loans. Good thing I got a decent job that can pay for them. Too bad for my sister who had a masters and is making $35k as a teacher in Tennessee which is barely more than minimum wage.

This is the real crime.

It’s always depressing when we talk about the latest developments in minimum wage and how a day one burger flipper at an In and Out in California is making just as much as someone with 6 years of schooling and responsibility for teaching the next generation.

Oh and that’s not even considering how much of her own $$$ is needed to successfully supply a classroom and how barely any is tax deductible.

Her experiences almost single handedly altered my political viewpoints and who I vote for.

Who are you voting for that will raise wages for teachers? Or are you looking to cut wages for burger flippers.
