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.
