Everyone has his or her own way of adapting to any given situation and that was her way of getting threw school and feeding her kids. Just because your grades are up to par or not, does not mean you will get the scholarship you applied to. I just think, it is not a horrible thing that Jesse Jackson's organization is affording this woman a scholarship.

And those people who made those choices shouldn't be awarded a scholarship to prevent them from continuing to strip. Should I write Jesse Jackson and say "If you don't give me a scholarship I am going to strip or sell drugs to pay my tuition and raise my child"? Um, no.
My Stripper Scholarship comment was ok (and witty might I add) because that seems like what he is offering.
