“ being physically located in, and largely beholden to, a state that doesn’t care about, ”

You appreciate the irony that this hostile state and her backwards residents paid to have this top school with top facilities and top researchers, right?

Anybody in GA can take their children to pre-K for free.

Any young person in GA can work hard and go to top schools for free.

I think that’s a pretty awesome deal for disadvantaged communities. Especially compared to every other state that has legal lotteries and eye watering tuition.

Sure, I’d rather lotteries were illegal again. But I’d keep the HOPE baby as I dump the bath water. It’s a model for other states!

The lottery he’s referring to is the state lottery, as in gambling.

All proceeds from the state lottery must, by law, go fund pre-K education and college tuition.

This was a necessary condition to legalize the lottery because conservative rural GA Christians believe lotteries are sinful.

In GA pre-K and state colleges are free to state residents.

What a backwards bunch of hicks! /sarcasm

You would rather be hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt than go to a top engineering school for free?

You’re aware those same hicks with their backward values that voted for values you don’t agree with are the same hicks, with the same values, that made GT free for you to attend?

Those conservative evangelicals who agreed to legalize the state lottery only if all proceeds go to tuition and early childhood education - they’re the reason your education was free.
