Drug War Harms More Than 100,000 Students
by TChris
More than 31,000 California college students forfeited their shot at federal financial aid because of past drug convictions, newly released records show.
Why should a drug conviction prevent students from obtaining the financial assistance they need to improve their educations? Shouldn't society try to help them gain the tools they need to live productive lives?
While Congress recently "softened" the law, it should be jettisoned altogether.
