I know a few parents myself who couldn't possibly afford in-state tuition at our state's university on their own dime. So if this law is real, those kids didn't have good enough grades to get scholarships, were not athletically gifted, and were too lazy to apply for grants (which wouldn't nearly cover the cost), it would financially IMPOSSIBLE for that kid to go to college; therefore since the parents couldn't afford college as you say is their legal right, what punishment would the courts award the parents?
Sounds to me like if it a legal right to go to college then they ought to be suing the college for failure to provide such service to each and every one who wants to go to college.
