How do you turn civilized citizens into a rioting mass of Greeks? Teach them that the state owes you a 1) living, 2) housing, 3) food
The Daily Caller has discovered that colleges around the country are teaching their students to get on welfare. Leading the pack: Portland State University and Pacific University. We’re so proud.
But it gets worse!
The Daily Caller reports (Here) that more people than ever are on food stamps (here) and part of the reason is that the stigma is being taken out of sticking your hand out for freebies when you are capable of working and paying for yourself!
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!”
