Conservatives and moderates: It's time to stop giving to your alma mater

Many of our country’s most cherished institutions of higher learning are shadows of what they once were. And if you’re a college graduate, that probably includes your alma mater.

A survey by the Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA found that a staggering 60 percent of university professors identified as “liberal” or “far-left” in 2014 – up from 42 percent in 1990. But interviews conducted in 17 separate Gallup polls in 2016 that found that 70 percent of Americans consider themselves either conservative (36 percent) or moderate (34 percent).

In colleges across the country, far-left professors now dominate disciplines like English literature, sociology, and history. Few have anything positive to say about capitalism, the Constitution or the United States in general.

As a result, many colleges have become ground zero for propagating every extreme idea the far left can imagine. And they want your money to help them do it. Lots of it.

To help them spread propaganda, colleges are regularly sending out fundraising letters and emails. From time to time, you may have donated or even made your gift as a regular monthly contribution. Some alumni donate small (or not-so-small) fortunes and have buildings named after them.

Wherever you find yourself on the continuum of funding university-sponsored indoctrination, please understand that you’re very likely financing institutions that oppose your values.

No body can wreck a company faster that a Harvard grad.

What about a Wellesley grad or a Yale Law grad?

Haven’t donated to mine ever since graduation..the school I attended has an endowment over $1Billion already lol.

I tell them that they and I had an agreement 30 yrs ago...I pay you tuition, you educate me. They got their money, I got a diploma. I considered it a fair deal then, and still do now. I don’t owe them another dime, and frankly, they don’t need it.
