Harvard Deserves to be Defunded

Academics are claiming McCarthyism about the Trump administration putting conditions on grants to Columbia and Harvard universities.

Let's get this in perspective. Columbia and Harvard have the worst free speech ratings of any USA colleges.

Harvard has a $50 billion endowment, and gets about $10 billion in federal grants a year.

The federal government has a long history of using such conditions to force wokism, leftism, feminism, and DEI on colleges. Boys sports programs were abolished to make room for girls sports programs, and then trans-identifying boys were allowed to compete against girls. Sexual behavior trials were held without the most basic fairness. Incompetent Blacks were promoted to the highest positions.

The colleges are now mostly anti-White, anti-man, and anti-Trump.

The Trump policies may seem a little heavy-handed, but it will take much more to get the colleges to be racially and politically neutral.

Harvard has been an elite activist snob factory for some time.
They left nothing to debate, exposed their bias to the winds, and are now quite surprised when it comes around to bite them on their hypocrisy.

American taxpayers really don't need to be funding the mass production of would-be technocrat elitists who can't discern an opinion from an act of violence. Let the rich pay for their own damn country club memberships.

Roger,
I believe there is a strong case to be made that the more foreign money Harvard (or any American university) accepts, the more hostile and adversarial they become to the country they are there to serve. Harvard is taking in millions from countries very adversarial to the United States, it is obviously purchasing quite a bit of influence.
