"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan

"It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

I would gladly vote for Cruz, but I disagree with him on this issue. I would never send my children to a university that boycotted Israel, but I am a believer in letting people follow their values

Under the current circumstances I agree with Cruz, but I really don’t think ANY school should be subsidized by the Federal Government. It’s NOT their job.

The left trashed South Africa and Rhodesia the same way in the late 80s, and made life worse for generations of Africans. They were never held accountable for the damage they wrought.

Cruz: Universities that boycott Israel should lose federal funding

Texas Eagle: Universities should lose federal funding.

How about defunding universities that limit free speech.

Name one college or university which is boycotting Israel.

A tempest in a teapot.

It just isn’t happening.

The most I can find is that some students at California universities are calling on their universities to divest themselves of their investments in Israel, but, really, how much would they have invested in Israel? And what possible difference would it make if they are invested in Israel versus invested in a biotech ETF fund in the U.S.?

From what I can see, this is a non-issue.

Scott Walker is weaning the Wisconsin University system off state money over time, giving the schools time to adjust budgets and seek other funding sources.

Why do universities get federal funding in the first place?
