This is not a radical idea. In the 1960's, California offered free tuition to in-state residents and Governor Ronald Reagan didn't throw a hissy-fit.

The "LGBTQ Studies" was only one of the dog whistles... the tell is the other one - "Nancy Pelosi-esque" ... these folks are relentless in their messaging. You've got to give them that.

I'd rather money go to tuition than some new multi-million dollar building (to benefit construction contractor friends) or some consulting study nobody needs. Professor salaries and student tuition first and foremost.

I personally attended UT through the Texas Tomorrow Fund, a TX program from the 90's(?). It allowed my parents to lock in tuition rates from the early 90's, pay into it, and then I attended in the late 2000's.

Same. In fact, I think college should be free. But Republicans definitely aren't ready for that conversation.
