Robbing our students

Kudos for exposing “educational fraud” in the Higher ed hustle series.

On the other hand, shame on those legislators who have, by their actions, sanctioned robbing our innocent and least fortunate young Floridians of their finances and educational dreams and hopes for a better future.

No doubt this series will be another award-winning exposé, which again may meet with inaction by Florida legislators. However, those smiling legislative faces in the April 30 front page “wall of shame” should each be remembered by their constituents as the “educational pimps” they are for having profited from thwarting those aspiring for better lives.

These legislators’ rewards should be to be voted out of office.
