Adventures in College Stupidity

So, some knucklehead chooses to go to an out-of-state college and then protests the higher tuition with a stupid stunt:
But on Friday, a sophomore at the University of Colorado, Boulder, found a symbolic way to strike back.

The student, Nic Ramos, paid his entire spring semester tuition — all $14,309.51 of it — using dollar bills, a 50-cent piece and a penny.
He could have chosen a college in his own state and probably paid less than half as much tuition.

Or, he could have snuck into the country illegally and gotten the in-state rate.  And now he has a target on his back.  He better stay on the good side of his profs.

 Either way, if he thinks he's paying too much tuition it's his own fault.

Didn't you know??? Education should be free, like health care.

Yawn.
