Columnist’s argument flawed

Brian Amos’ column shocked me by its blatant disregard of the facts. Ronald Reagan, John Tyler and Herbert Hoover are not  first, second or third on the vast majority of scholars’ presidential rankings. A C-SPAN poll conducted in 2009 of presidential historians had Reagan at 10, Tyler at a measly 35 and Hoover at a slightly better-than-measly 34.

Abolish federal scholarships for the sake of equality

I completely agree with Mr. Amos. We must abolish federal scholarships. What use do they serve anyway? It’s not like anyone actually wins them based on merit. If Mr. Amos cannot win these, then we must remove them from existence. After all, isn’t making everything equal for everyone regardless of their abilities and hard work really what this country is about?
