Virginia's GOP Governor Glenn Youngkin slams 'maniacal' decision by SEVEN schools in woke district to hide merit awards from top students to boost 'equity', as AG warns move could have cost youngsters college scholarships
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

#5 Both trailing daughters got a full ride and a bribe when they chose to take their National Merit Scholarship selves to the University of Cincinnati, Mercutio — if I recall correctly, in 2008 that was worth about $17,000 altogether. The Ohio State University offered only free tuition — $8,000-ish? — while the big name private universities disdained even to give preference to their applications, but graciously allowed outsiders associated with the National Merit Scholarship Corporation to pay for the basic NM scholarship — this year it’s $2,500. The parents of these kids should band together to sue for the lost monies at the schools their kids ended up attending — that’s an easier win than for the loss of places at their dream schools.
