It's pointlessly divisive to make this a red vs. blue issue.
Tennessee, (a red state) has had free community college for its HS graduates for a few years now via last dollar scholarships, and a very good scholarship for four year schools.

- talmand 9y agoGeorgia has had a similar program since 1993. It's not necessarily 100% for everybody, but it is for some since it's merit-based. Otherwise, covers something like 80% to 90%, or so, of the tuition. It's been a while since I've read anything on it so I don't know the current state of the program.
