   Actually we should just return to the 70s and before when most states fully funded their state universities and charged nominal tuition. In California tuition in 1970 was $100($660 2019 $) a semester which could be earned in about 60 hours in a student job.

   I was born in 1951, had I been born black in many parts of the country (remember Brown v Board of Education was in Kansas): my mother likely would not have been allowed in to the Whites Only hospital for my birth, by five I would have been instructed to know my place and how to act subservient around whites-such as stepping of the sidewalk into the gutter if I passed a white person, my schools would have been strictly segregated at least up until I was in high school-1967, my WWII veteran father would have been unable to take advantage of GI Bill benefits due to segregation/red lining in housing and high education and he would have been regulated to “colored” jobs.

   Actually trump is on record as saying the US will not interfere in other countries human rights abuses (see Saudi Arabia) from his UN speech:" I honor the right of every nation in this room to pursue its own customs, beliefs, and traditions. The United States will not tell you how to live or work or worship.”

   I remember conservatives having a foaming at the mouth hatred for the “bleeding heart” justices on the Warren Court for requiring police to follow the 4/5th Amendments and letting obviously guilty people go free for “minor” police investigative misconduct.

   As a 65+ senior I remember getting Bob Dylan’s The Times They Are A Changing LP-which celebrates how us boomers would push the old generation who were blocking up the hall out of the way-sad that many of my generation today are the ones blocking up the hall.

    I have always been puzzled by “thoughts and prayers” who/what are you suppose to pray for; for God to let the dead into Heaven and not Hell? To heal the injured? Comfort the families? Besides was Jim Morrison wrong and you can petition the Lord with prayer? Does God keep a prayer tally sheet and if not enough people prayer for some one he lets them die?
