White student lauded after returning college scholarship meant for blacks - U.S. News
Um - huh? I'm confused - why is a "blacks only" scholarship even allowed? Especially a scholarship given in the name of Martin Luther King, Jr? Someone who marched and died for equality. This just doesn't seem right.
What happened to merit-based scholarships?
I don't like scholarships that single out students based on race, sex or anything else. They should be based on merit only, academic or otherwise.
