Financial Aid and the War on Drugs

You would think that education would be the best weapon on the war on drugs. In 2000, Republicans did not agree. In the past couple of weeks I have increasingly heard more and more about students being denied financial aid because of drug convictions. In my opinion, these students are the ones who need the aid the most to improve their financial situation and move into a new chapter in their life. It is a ridiculous correlation and an unfair denial of rights.Talk Left has more on this.
