But I bet I still don't get better pay, or job security, or basic respect. Pete and Elizabeth are the only candidates who know any teachers.

Yes. Not sure how many states that opens up, to be honest.

And I lived in Atlanta 15 years... I know aaaaaaall about Battle of the Bands 😁

How does the “historical” part fit in? We find a way to transplant those campuses? Is there enough land available quickly and cheaply enough to create safer spaces? Honestly, I’m not pressing you for answers nor arguing the validity of your stance. I have too many friends who ran that gauntlet and are defiantly proud. They are the ones who get to ask these questions, raise objections as needed - not me. But I agree with you on this: the villainization of Black boys and men needs to stop.

I'd be a little peeved myself. Even if Trump's got that Justice Department "memo" to keep him out of the pokey, there were other non-president people involved in this deal, and he's the only one that got prison time. It's time to sing like a canary.

This sounds remakably like the HECS system in Australia that was in effect when I got my degree.

It's a good system.

Most of the debt plans are specifically for the federal loans taken out for school, but I do wonder how it affects those of us who were pre-Obama and have private student loans through companies like Key Bank. Because I have income-based repayment on my fed loans, but the private ones, they want me to pay more than I would to rent an apartment per month. D;

We have the Auraria Campus in downtown Denver that houses the Community College of Denver, Metro State University and the University of Colorado - Denver. A ton of kids do their first 2 years at CCD before moving on to Metro or UCD (or Anschutz campus for nursing school). I think there's also an agreement with Mesa State College in Grand Junction.
