Eerily similar to income, don't you think?

LOL. I disagree with the statement that our nation guarantees equality and the left is only working to guarantee equal outcomes. That's simply not true. Take gay marraige for example. We can't profess to have equal rights in this country if it only applies to men, whites, and straight people. It has to be equal to everyone. We certainly are closer than we once were, but we're not there yet. As to the original topic, it's a no brainer. If you earn a scholarship, it's yours. Wealth absolutely should have nothing to do with it.
