<human>: So I was listening to NPR today on the way to work when they brought up news that high students have been petitioning or collecting signatures to propose that students with at least a 2.7 GPA would be given free college tuition. The money would come from Californians earning over $250,000/year who would provide the subsidization. 

Now don't get me wrong, I think more people going to college is great, and I think students should definitely be awarded for outstanding performance in school. But c'mon, serious a 2.7 GPA? That's is the equivalent of a B-/C+. I recall having a 4.1+ GPA in high school, and I was just floating around the top %5-10? I can't remember exactly, but I was DEFINITELY not the 10 students of the school or anything for that matter. I feel like this would do nothing, but encourage mediocre performance by rewarding them with a full ride through college.

In my opinion we already have something in place that awards outstanding students for working their asses of in school, it's called SCHOLARSHIPS, and often those who deserve it can get a full ride.

So Reddit, am I crazy/greedy/selfish/indignant? I honestly would like to hear a legitimate argument for those who are advocating this, and I know if there is any place to find convincing reason, it's Reddit.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: High school students want their college tuition completed paid for by taxpayers for having a 2.7 (B-) GPA. I would like to hear reasons/justification for those in favor of this.
