Wow. Glad I graduated when I did! I'm surprised they didn't at least try to tighten up the requirements first. Seems kind of drastic.

that would be discriminatory and/or racist and black groups would file suit

they'd rather have no TOPS than a tougher TOPS

and this is just your typical government fear mongering. rattling the cages to protect their government handouts

That would have been racist. Now the only people that will qualify for aid will be minorities.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. Jindal shielded this middle-class welfare program for eight years and now it's on the table like everything else.
