Marine veteran James Erickson put the students in the #MillionStudentMarch in their place with one simple tweet.

It reads:

I wanted money for school, so I marched too… #millionstudentmarch This one was about 25 miles… #USMC pic.twitter.com/bS6QN0KDtb

Students across the country marched for free tuition, safe spaces, and $15 an hour to flip hamburgers.

I almost agree with the #MillionStudentMarch… I mean, someone clearly has taught them the wrong meaning of Free Market System.

Step #1: Proclaim "Teachers are underpaid!" Step #2: Protest because you want free schooling.

Mic drop. Thank you for your service.

Million student march Lol... just a scam for cutting class for the day

"1. Teachers are underpaid."

Not hard to see where the 'million puppet' march originated from.

I find pretty much all self-righteousness to be boorish and uninformative.


Worst of all, it usually gets in the way of finding solutions, and since solving things is what I like to do, that makes it EXTRA annoying.

Enough with people purposely misunderstanding each other, just to score imaginary points.

I am not sure that I agree with giving something of value for free and education certainly is of value.

But I do think that many educational expenses and how the system is set up is favoring the rich and unduly subsidizing great wastes of money even educational fraud.

If fewer students wasted money on partying. being pampered with entertainment instead of education, and other criminal behavior it would not be so difficult to live on or near campus safely. The majority of student crime is student on student but nobody wants to own up to their own bad behavior.

If class offering were more accommodating to working students and employers were motivated to contribute to bringing students and the needed training together I think you would see more skilled workers and less student debt.

I believe in reimbursement for good grades and course completion not financing massive high interest debt for immature mediocre student half of which drop out because they just don't have the dedication to stay or even want to be there except for not knowing what else to do. Especially if it provides and housing alternative . I think many parents use colleges as an eviction process for their obnoxious kids.

I hardly see how some of the "fluff" I see in curriculums really speaks to the idea of true education. Some of the garbage course I have seen are ridiculous.

And I think the idea that any student that wants to go to school, regardless of race, is being deprived when if you make the grades you will get the scholarships it is making up a problem that does not exist.

Are there some bigoted teachers that discriminate? Sure but students that are too lazy to participate in self policeing and get the voters support for cleaning out bad apples don't get a lot of sympathy for me. You can hardly complain about buying a worthless product and then just decide not to pay for it.

If minority students want segregated funding then fund each other. I think the race card is and excuse because I know for a fact it sure did not preclude many of my classmates of every race, creed , color and background from attending college in the 70's and since.

Pacific star: a suggestion for your consideration.

Education of our people isn't "giving something of value away for free."

An educated population is an important national resource.

Perhaps you are unaware, as many people are these days, that Public Education was NOT invented in order to share the cost of paying teachers. That was the LEAST of concerns.

We established public education in order to provide ourselves with educated people that we could utilize in other ways, to build the nation and coordinate our lives.

When en education is "given" to someone, it isn't JUST them who benefits, it's the entire community.

It used to be true, that an American High School education was sufficient to allow a person to make a good middle class living, that contributed to the wealth and health of the entire nation in a positive way. But advances in technology and other concerns have made that false today. The U.S. struggles to compete with many other nations now, because they DO more fully educate their people, while we indulge in petty arguments over which private enterprise should get the most personal profits from educating the very few who can afford to pay.
