Yup.
Have no idea why Republican legislatures keep voting to send money to the indoctrination centers.
Yessiree. Yank taxpayer money. These places are hives of anti Americanism.
At minimum, it they receive government funding, they should be required to teach and have students pass, a basic course on the Constitution and American History.
At least students would have something to compare their indoctrination with.
The Hillsdale College Constitution courses would be a good template.
The U of Calif should be the poster child for this defunding. Univ of California and the California State systems. Producing America hating kids every year, day in and day out.
Tax the endowments...
That’ll send them squealing...
Solve the student debt “crisis” by getting refunds on tuition from the schools.
What? No courses on the intersectionality of transgenderism and marxism?
Their conspicuous prosperity over the last 30 years is a direct consequence of democrats seeing them as perfect propaganda machines. Education, science, literature all abandoned for leftist power.
In addition Universities should cease providing athletic scholarships. Go back to the original purpose of institutions of higher learning. If you want to have athletics fine, but they will be students first, athletes second.
Division 2 and 3 schools have been doing this forever and most of them seem to be able to field entertaining football, basketball and baseball teams.
Every alumnus should write to their college ASAP to state that not a single penny will be given until things change significantly.

They will listen when there’s money at stake.
The cushy jobs of leftist professors and their like minded colleagues in administrative positions will be threatened. Nothing is more important to them than money. Nothing.
Every lefty I have ever know loves money.
Rather than defund them, I’d like to see the Leftist/Liberal playbook and rules used against them. IE....Affirmative Action
Demand that if the school wants to continue to get public money, research grants, etc, 50% of their staff, professors, lecturers HAS to be Conservative. Lets see what happens then the ‘Cancel Culture’ falls on their shoulders and they’re out of a job because of their political ideology.
How fast will the Left want to eliminate the idea of Affirmative Action?
Would somebody please tell me then where our wymen and gender studies professionals will come from? ;-)
You run Soviet style schools , you get Soviet style education. They are simply too far gone to the left side. You can't fix them. Solution? Stop paying for them! If parents had to pay for their kids education directly you can bet they would insist on quality, or they would take their business elsewhere!
Even in conservative areas of the country, the teachers in the elementary and high schools are predominately Left leaning. Taxpayer money used to teach children that America is bad.
The new department of education:
Gut and restructure the DOE
No outside funding unless it is reviewed by commission within the department,
Each university is required to submit and curriculum to be approved by the board it will consist of a pro American, pro American history major
Funding by the tax payer will only be implemented when curriculum is accepted.,
Agents will be dispersed at intervals to make sure ciriculum is followed.
Re interview of university professor and faculty to insure a pro American stance
Reposting my June 12th reply to a post that day:
Just a suggestion: Let’s start a new movement—Defund the Public Colleges
Why should we send tax dollars to colleges that are indoctrinating our kids to hate our country, its laws, and its founders?
At least defund the social studies, English, poli sci, etc., departments that are almost entirely populated by leftists today.
Defund the Public Colleges! (We’ve got to start somewhere in taking back our country. This is as good a place as any.)
Well, yes, stop donating. But people don’t donate because they “believe” in the university (most of the time). The big donations come with a bid for immortality: “Smith Hall” “the William H. Macy Student Center.”
The four sources of university funding are:
1) donations/endowments
2) sports and TV revenue
3) federal (and a few state) contracts)
4) tuition
Now, #1 is going to take a HUGE hit from BLM when people first see BLM logos on U of Texas or UCLA uniforms. The donations will flee. Already UT has gotten strong warnings from its donors on this. But it WILL happen.
Sports will not pull in either the fan $ or the television money if no one is watching in the stands (China Virus) or on TV.
3) Trump has been working on this, especially as related to Chicom researchers. Unfortunately, the military does a TON of business with schools. At U of Dayton, where I taught, Wright Patterson had many standing contracts with the Kettering Labs, which charged outrageous (50%) overhead.
4) Watch this one. I expect enrollments/actual college in person student #s to plummet,maybe by 30% this year. Tuitions will crash. Think of all the scholarships that are based on covering “room and board.” Those are likely to be revisited if kids aren’t staying on campus.
In short, across the board we have an opportunity to seriously defund the colleges, and not just out of ideological reasons, but for very practical ones.
The engineering, math, physics and medicine schools are hard to corrupt, it’s the rest that suck.
Want diversity? Half of the faculty must be Republicans (not counting RINOs).
