"Squad"-member Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., claimed that a person is unable to be "anti-racist" unless they support cancelling student debt.
In a tweet published on Monday, Pressley – one of the members of the "Squad" alongside Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., and Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich. – shared an article by the Washington Post that detailed the stories of people across America with student debts.
Alongside the article, Pressley claimed that a person cannot stand against racism if they don’t support canceling student debt.
"You can't be anti-racist if you're anti student debt cancellation," Pressley wrote.The article shared by Pressley included the stories of multiple people with student loan debts,

No one forced anyone to take out a student loan. How many students bought cars and other items with the loan money?
Why are you not asking the colleges why they are so expensive? How many classes do the "professors" teach. Why do their tuition increase faster than the cost of living? Why do dorms have to be so high class?

"Useless" is a weak discription of what Pressley is.

So then we also cancel pay for college professors, administrators, maintenance crews? If someone can’t make use of their degree to make money to pay back their loan, then they should should see if their Alma Mater has a refund policy, or if “lemon laws” apply.

Is there a form for me to fill out requesting a refund for paying children's college loan, or should I just wait for my reparations payout?
Oh, wait - I'm not eligible.

The "squad" seem not to know the difference between grants and loans - something that 4th graders should be able to understand. That, alone, should be enough to be rejected for admission to higher learning, let alone for a "loan" that doesn't have to be repaid.

Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.
Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
Ilhan Omar, D-Minn.
Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.
The above is a small sample of True Racist Pukes in Congress that have been elected by varying degree of pukes in their districts. The True Racist Pukes despise America in its current form and have a hatred for anyone that differs with them, particularly if your Caucasian.
The True Racist Pukes want heavy government involvement in people's lives from cradle to grave. The True Racist Pukes won't be content until the electorate is told to think in a certain way. In addition to other directives, the True Racist Pukes have displayed why this small yet growing group are Enemies Of The People.

In 1990 my student loan debt topped out at $15,000. I repaid the loan from a teacher’s salary over 5 years. In 2021 dollars, that loan is equal to almost $31,000. Where is my free stuff?

Obviously being a responsible person who scrimps, works and saves for a child’s education is not worthy of taxpayer largesse. Next the squad will demand that only persons who majored in gender studies, chicano studies, black studies etc. should be eligible for loan forgiveness. God forbid that you might have majored in chemistry or engineering, or physics.....

So......I'm a racist if I don't want to pick up the tab for rich white kids?
Absolutely EVERYTHING with these people revoles around race. If you disagree with ANY element of the leftist agenda, your a raaaaaacist.
Keep it up. By 2022 anyone to the right of Mao will have had a snootfull of this non-sense.

Back in the 1950s, under the Eisenhower administration, there were National Defense Education Act (NDEA) loans. (Ike liked stuff with a military label - the Interstate Highway Act was a military project.)
NDEA loans were limited to certain majors.
Under Nixon, student loans became widely available, and the maximum loan was 1500 dollars per academic year.
Then Carter opened up maximum loans, and took parents out of the picture. And tuition skyrocketed.
Reagan tried to get a handle on student loans, but essentially gave up.
The Kenyan Klown took student loans away from banks, and federalized them,

Sorry, screaming "racist" about opposing totally unrelated bullhockey leftist moves is irrelevant.
I keep hoping that she chokes on her hate one day.

I’m so confused. Is the opposite of anti-racist racist? Or are the 2, 3, 400, etc. classifications in between like gender? I want to look at the squad dictionary to see the definitions of the day. I think the progressives are like the Queen of Hearts who said “a word means precisely what I mean it to say, nothing more, nothing less” (paraphrase, I think).

If you cancel student debt, you have universal free education, which is the real goal of the left. No, the student ran up the debt, and should pay it back. It is easy to not run up all these debts. One way is to work, anathema to many. Another to mitigate the costs by going to cheaper schools that have the same education, but not the luster, or cost. It is possible to walk, instead of the new car. Hold off on the boozing on the weekends. Why can't those things be done, instead of other people having to pay these deadbeats bills?

Sorry, quote wrong, reference wrong...When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master—that's all."

The student loan will not be cancelled. It will be paid by someone other than the person who took out the loan.

Ayanna Pressley, you ignorant hose beast, I fully oppose canceling student debt, and I have never been racist. The two have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
So, gee whiz, I guess I just proved you to be the huge liar that you truly are. I will be waiting for my apology!!!
