Even with the University’s relatively low price tag of $5,678 for the average full-time student, Miami Dade College’s average full-time student only pays $3,074, according to collegeboard.com.
In essence, these students saved over $5,000 while getting equal education over a two year period.
As for non-believers, this law poses a threat to their rights too. Our First Amendment doesn’t just give all of us freedom to practice any religion; it also gives us freedom from practicing religion. Therefore, these students may also become marginalized, even targeted for their lack of faith.
At the very the least, they will be forced into a highly uncomfortable position should the overwhelming majority of their peers bow their heads in prayer during a required school assembly.
Granted, if any student – or teacher, for that matter – doesn’t want to take part in an assembly where spiritual content is included, they reserve the right to simply walk out.

Also, by allowing the states the power to tailor their educational standards to the needs of the students within their borders, they will cease with this one-size-fits-all nonsense.
While some students are genuinely looking for factual information, others are turning to pornography, Wikipedia and other unreliable, unrealistic portrayals of sexual behavior. In general, when students take to the Internet to find out more about sexual health, they are subject to misinformation distributed by unqualified sources.To alleviate the latter issue, colleges and universities should consider creating scholarly sex ed websites for their students.
