Why would they think this is a good idea. This is unbelievably patronising. I was a scholarship kid at a school full of insanely rich people. If they'd held a special ceremony for us scholarship "poors" it would definitely have been humiliating.

You were taught some semblance of taking pride in yourself.

Being a ward of the state, getting your check on the first of the month, being on food stamps and welfare, being of a certain victim status or racial caste are all things to be celebrated now.

Why would they not think this is a good idea. They've been preaching and teaching this to several generations now. The time for sowing is over, the reaping has finally begun.
