Indeed. In the video they say "practically free" or something like that. I didn't want the title to have too many big words in it, thoThread title and some of the comments in the video are misleading. Public college was never free, and most people didn't graduate debt free.
The military veterans who enrolled in college were able to use the G.I. Bill to graduate with little to no debt.

That's why I don't care if other policies aimed to "People of Color" or "Low Income" people help others because it's going to disproportionately help Blacks more
ehhhhhh
There were completely free public colleges. There were also "essentially" free schools due to the GI Bill. Both excluded Black people.Thread title and some of the comments in the video are misleading. Public college was never free, and most people didn't graduate debt free.

And college debt *then* was less of a burden than *current* student loan debt.
