Well I guess TOPS IS racist. Good idea to get rid of all racist things to better the state

According to the report, released December 2015, 75 percent of students who received the awards in 2014 were white, with a majority coming from families who make at least $70,000 in annual income.

I guess getting a 2.5 is racist

Since when is $70k combined income affluent?

Yeah, well don't forget that blind standards like ACT score and GPA are racist too.

What difference does it make who benefits from the TOPS program? They set out, defined educational requirements (X gpa, X act/sat). Anyone who classifies with their requirements can benefit from TOPS.
Also, I'm sure that a majority of white students choose to attend college over black students.

Let's add some perspective on that. What percentage of high school graduates in the state are white?
Also, two parents with 35k a year salary isnt anything to get wxcited about.

affluent families =/= at least $70,000 in annual income
Posted on 2/14/16 at 9:18 am to ksayetiger
Aren't they the families that pay in the most taxes? Perhaps it should benefit them more....

Did that fish wrapper called The Shreveportimes actually say $70K a year makes one 'affluent'?

Curious to see the percent of pell grant receivers

Maybe it should read, "75% of students who accomplish a 2.5 GPA and a 21 on the ACT are white."

OR......
The ones that are taking advantage of this opportunity are white.
Skewed data my friend.

Nowhere in the article did it state that the government handout known as TOPS is racist. There was not even any commentary in the article. But your attempt to make another topic about race was sucessful. Congrats. Many points you have earned.

Looks like that would be the kind op people you'd like to keep in the state
