Are you saying that student loan debt is now treated the same as consumer debt in bankruptcy court?
Do you understand the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 types of bankruptcies?
I've tried to find evidence of this change of law you talk about. Everything I've read says that it is still very hard to discharge student loan debt. It can be possible under circumstances of extreme hardship.
This article seems to me to reflect current law:

Excerpt:
"Today, student loans can only be discharged in bankruptcy upon a judicial finding of undue hardship, a nearly impossible legal standard to meet."
