Is higher education a right? The answer is no.

Not everyone deserves free college tuition

One of the hot topics among millennials today is the idea of a free college education. Bernie Sanders is probably the greatest advocate of this idea in today’s political playing field. I do not think there are many people who would refuse a free college education outright, but there are still people who feel that working for something on their own is important and I commend them. I would love if my college education was paid for. I believe that I have worked hard for it, and I feel deserving of such a reward, but I do not believe that everyone deserves a free college education.

I am not going to argue about how college tuition is going to be paid for. This is simply about the concept itself. Does everyone deserve a free college education? Is higher education a right? The answer is no, but I say this with a grain of salt. Not everyone deserves free higher education outright, but anyone can earn it.
