The 24-year-old said she didn't want to give money to universities that opposed student protests. Hope Walz called herself a "privileged white woman" and said she was refusing to attend a graduate school that had accepted her application.
The daughter of the failed vice presidential candidate posted a video on social media explaining that she was angered by universities shutting down dissent from student protests
"I got into grad school. I will not be attending starting this fall though, and I will no longer be attending the university that I originally applied for," she said on the video posted to TikTok.
I applied for one school. I kind of had my heart set on it. That's what I wanted to do," Walz explained. "I'm not going to name the institution, but given recent events, I am not going to give my money, go into debt for, support institutions that don't support their students and the right to protest and speak out for their communities."
The 24-year-old graduated from Montana State University in Bozeman in 2023 and was employed as a social worker at a homeless shelter as well as a ski instructor, according to her father.
"Students deserve to be protected," she continued. "I'm not worried about if I were to be protected or not at said institution, I'm [a] privileged white woman, but I'm not going to put myself in a position where I'm giving money or supporting institutions that don't support their students."
Walz said she might skip a year and find a suitable graduate school to attend next fall.
Video of her comments was posted to social media, where she was widely ridiculed by some critics.
Student protests have erupted at many campuses in the U.S. among anti-Israel activists opposed to the military action in the Gaza Strip after Hamas terrorists slaughtered people in southern Israel. Some of the protests have included vandalism and violence.
The Trump administration has used immigration enforcement and the threat of federal fund rescission to force colleges and universities to take a harder line against student protests.
To Hope: So? If you expect the whole world to conform to your preferences, you’re in for a long, hard life, young lady.
(I gave her the benefit of the doubt)
It was uncompletely unnecessary for her to make this announcement.
She should have remained low-key and get a job as a barista at a local Starbucks. At least that would be honorable because she would be earning a living by performing actual work.
so?
In other words, she failed.
I think she means she was NOT accepted and is using this as an excuse.
Can’t fix stupid..
I wonder who she thinks cares?
She’s cray-cray
Whatever
I think she is right. I am glad she won’t be going to classes, someone else that does not have priviledge will get that slot. Probably her daddy is in full support, these reflect wise decisions and careful analysis about her future. She really knows she grew up priviledged. Great news. I think to show her real humility, she could marry some Venezuela Gang Leader and help the youth have access to cheaper drugs.
“but I’m not going to put myself in a position where I’m giving money or supporting institutions that don’t support their students.”
Wait ... she applied to a university that doesn’t have any Jewish students? The “institution” is only supposed to support antisemitic students?
That’ll show ‘em!
If life is so easy, how come so many white people are poor, Ms. Walz?
Translation: She is a mentally-ill, terrorist loving moonbat.
No surprise considering her lineage.
I don’t know what the female version of ‘putz’ is, but Walz obviously passed on the gene.
Chip off the old liberal moron block.
Did she literally use that phrase ,”A privileged white woman”? I thought this was an April Fools joke.
Well, maybe her Papa is. And not just in April.
I had a similar argument with a young black woman about 2 years ago.
Reparations!!!
My people didn’t get here until after the civil war and they were as poor as the sharecroppers when the arrived.
Kiss my white privileged azz!😡
Life is hard. It’s harder when you’re stupid. Look at your old man. Beotch.
