Breitbart News Editor Creates Scholarship Program for Poor White Men Only

The grant will also focus heavily on the networks created between prospective students and their mentors and other students. Unlike your standard student loans, this grant won’t give you money (debt) and send you on your way. Those in charge of the grant will also ensure that you’re setup for success.

Applications will open later in 2016; they will be comprised of video essays, written essays, and financial assessment, thus ensuring that the grants are means and ability tested. The first grants will be issued in time for the start of the 2016-17 academic year. The grant’s website is intended to “remain the most up to date source of news and updates as we make more decisions and develop criteria.”

The purpose of the grant is not to channel students toward certain majors in order to rectify imbalances in any profession; the purpose is simply to “level the playing field for an underprivileged group across the whole sector.”

I understand that our focus on white men will strike some people as controversial or even offensive. Good. It’s time to re-examine the facts, because they don’t support the current media narrative that women and ethnic minorities are some kind of oppressed victim class. If there’s a patriarchy, it’s not doing a very good job of protecting male interests, is it? It’s men who need the help now — and we’re going to give it to them.

Although there will be some who dispute the claim that young white men are in need of help, the data clearly supports such a claim. According to an article in the Journal of Poverty and Social Justice, the need for young men to improve their financial state is paramount in reducing crime:

Public policy reform over several decades has succeeded in systematically impoverishing and worsening the social and economic conditions of poor, single young men. That this group is the most prone to criminality and criminalisation, while being pushed further into the margins of the licit and illicit economy, has been a central feature of long-term and growing crime trends. The article argues that successive governments have been unwise to neglect the poverty of unemployed, single young men into young adulthood. Their comparatively unfavourable treatment (as the most ‘undeserving’ of the ‘undeserving poor’) has impoverished a group renowned for being crime-prone.

The Journal of Higher Education has sufficient evidence in proving that women’s advantage in college education is significant, along with most racial and ethnic groups, when compared with white males.

Is this grant racist? Absolutely not.

What is racist, is how the government creates all of these programs that give racial and ethnic groups a higher priority when t comes to getting an education.
