Your tuition dollars at work!
So… is enough enough already?
Republicans in Congress, led by Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) are talking up a plan to defund colleges and universities for allowing and encouraging antisemitic speech and rioting, the whole ball of wax (https://www.cnbc.com/2023/12/18/ivy-league-crackdown-house-republicans-plan-to-defund-top-universities.html).
It’s about time! In 2021 Harvard received $625 million in federal funds–in other words, taxpayer money. And what are we getting for this? It only hurts when I laugh.
Banks has a three-stage plan: defunding assorted elite colleges would be the climax. The public is getting a bit tired of anti-Israel “encampments” rallied by non-students and Far Left professors. Harvard, Penn State, and MIT are already under investigation: that’s Stage One. Stage Two is more subpoenas.
Of course, this has little chance of going forward with Democrats in charge of the Senate and an almost 50-50 House. But that could change, big-time, if President Donald Trump is returned to the White House by the voters.
We are getting fed up, though: that’s a fact.
It would certainly be a great idea to defund these –whatever they are.
Our government acts like it has more money than it knows what to do with.
Amen, but we not only need Trump in the White House blowing the trumpet of freedom, but a majority in the Senate and House. Let us pray as if it all depends on God and work as if it all depends on us.
Colleges should concentrate on teaching, instead of social influencing.
