FAFSA Drug Question

If you have ever filed a FAFSA, you know that there is a question on there that asks if you have ever been convicted of possessing or selling drugs. If you have, you probably will not be eligible for financial aid.

This is ridiculous as people convicted of murder can get financial aid, but someone who gets caught with some pot might not.

Some lawmakers are trying to get this drug question off the FAFSA, as taking education away from someone who might have make a little mistake in the past is hurting more than helping.
