Quote:

An ironic and unfortunate twist has developed in the life of Miriam Weeks, the Duke University student better known as porn star Belle Knox: Due to her illustrious porn career, which Weeks undertook to pay her tuition at Duke, she will no longer qualify for financial aid. It seems like her porn work can cover the full tuition, so she’ll stay at Duke — but in response, Weeks has criticized the college-crazy culture that tells “every kid to go to college, regardless of their future plans or ability to graduate” and the absurd tuition hikes that we have become accustomed to.

A true schadenfreude moment if there was one (source). And while Miriam Weeks continues to blame everyone but herself for her woes, her solution to solving the student loan crisis, shockingly, isn't more government intervention:

Quote:

Government must stop the flow of money to schools in order to get tuition rates under control again. That means being honest about the fact that not every child should go to college. Only 59% of full-time, first-time undergraduate students who began their pursuit of a bachelor’s degree at a 4-year degree-granting institution graduate in four years. That also means making students who can’t afford tuition out of pocket find funding in the private market, where lenders are too judicious to lend someone $150,000 to get a BA in underwater basketweaving.

Nooooo Miriam, don't you realize that being a poor oppressed womyn means that only Big Daddy Obama can save you?

Naturally, advocating for a libertarian/conservative solution to the student loan problem has pissed off her benefactors in the MSM:

Quote:

Based on Weeks’ interpretation, would this not also eliminate financial aid for students? And, if that were to happen, would colleges drop their prices to make it more affordable (and would that be enough)? Weeks crafts a careful, smart argument, but her hasty conclusion shows how complex finding the solution is. Meanwhile, college tuition remains, as she writes, “sky-high.”

Watch: the same clowns who defended her as a Strong, Independent Woman™ fighting the EVUL PATRIARKY will toss her overboard now that she won't stick to the leftist script. Insert your own "Teabagger" jokes here.

Personally, I'm still not going to take her seriously. Weeks is an attention whore with a decidedly Catholic mentality: a desire to be crucified. Nobody nailed her to the cross for getting fucked on camera, so she's going to keep finding ways to piss off the leftist majority until she gets her crown of thorns.
