And we have to do it now. That\u2019s why we\u2019re going to make sure that everyone has access to free community college and training programs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden told her audience, \u201cYour students and their families are carrying the brunt of the crisis. And that\u2019s why the Biden-Harris administration is going to get this virus under control and ensure support to those who are struggling. And as we rebuild our economy, we need community colleges more than ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is personal to the president and me,\u201d she continued, saying that the future of the entire American economy depended on community colleges: \u201cWe understand the power of your schools. We know that supporting students and your institutions is urgent. It\u2019s necessary for the families who are struggling to get by, the towns that are losing hope, and the future of our entire economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to get this done, and we have to do it now,\u201d she insisted. \u201cThat\u2019s why we\u2019re going to make sure that everyone has access to free community college and training programs. We\u2019re going to make sure students have the support they need to cross that finish line. And we\u2019re going to invest in programs that prepare our workers for jobs of the future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will do this together,\u201d she stated. \u201cWe are the builders, the doers, the dreamers who will create the future we need.\u201d&nbsp;Then she opined that community colleges were \u201cAmerica\u2019s best-kept secret\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>When we hosted the first community college summit at the White House in the Obama-Biden administration, I told our audience that community colleges were America\u2019s best-kept secret. Well, in places just like Erie and towns across America, the secret\u2019s out now, and it\u2019s time for us to pick up the bullhorn and take the lead. Community colleges are no longer our best-kept secret. They are our most powerful engine of prosperity, and at our next White House summit, I can\u2019t wait to lift up the work that you are doing every day to make sure that that engine can transform lives and our nation\u2019s economy.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.campusreform.org\/article?id=16813\">Campus Reform<\/a> reported, \u201cDuring his campaign, Joe Biden pledged to provide \u2018two years of community college or other high-quality training program&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/joebiden.com\/beyondhs\/\">without debt<\/a>&nbsp;for any hard-working individual looking to learn and improve their skills to keep up with the changing nature of work.\u2019 As president-elect, Biden&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1341931601060454401\">tweeted<\/a>&nbsp;that under his plan, \u2018community college will be free\u2019 because \u2018in the 21st century, twelve years of school isn\u2019t enough.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCommunity colleges are already heavily subsidized, with the majority of their revenue coming from taxpayer dollars,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ccrc.tc.columbia.edu\/easyblog\/community-college-funding-covid-19.html\">according to the Community College Research Center at Columbia University<\/a>,\u201d Campus Reform pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"FLOTUS: &quot;We&#039;re going to make sure that everyone has access to free community college&quot;\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G-8BExNSmJc?start=151&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
