Or, we can go the tried-and-true European route of making higher education free instead of all this stupid experimentation for the sake of a 'free market' which results in disaster for some of our most vulnerable citizens.

Sure, but a good whack of the 'free' countries have attainment rates half of the US.

I'm ok with that but which half of the current cohort gets booted?

The ones whose families don't value education as highly: the poor.

We aren’t Europeans.

What makes you think it would work with our culture?

And if it can work then let’s get a state or two to prove it.

California easily could and has the most left-leaning culture.
