Colleges with low-earning grads could lose access to student loans. Here's why.

[live love laugh]

8. Republicans have been fighting against cosmetologists' licensing for years now.

The provision, part of the GOP tax and spending law's overhaul of student loans, requires programs to show that graduates earn more than high school graduates. College arts, religion and trade programs such as cosmetology are the most likely to be cut off from federal student loans, according to HEA.

I’ve been seeing this since the beginning of the pandemic when people couldn’t get haircuts. Of course they are increasingly defunding a lot of educational programs. But I have been watching Republican representatives in multiple states testify about there being no need for cosmetology licenses. One clip I saw of a Republican last week was insane. He said that his daughter paints her own fingernails which proves that there is no need for licensing.

I’ve been watching to try and understand why they want this but writing this it dawns on me that it doesn’t matter. Republicans are just destructive. Period.
