President Trump on Friday said he is telling the Treasury Department to look into the tax-exempt status and the funding of "universities and school systems" over alleged left-wing bias, saying that children should not be "indoctrinated."
"Too many Universities and School Systems are about Radical Left Indoctrination, not Education," Trump said in a pair of tweets. "Therefore, I am telling the Treasury Department to re-examine their Tax-Exempt Status... and/or Funding, which will be taken away if this Propaganda or Act Against Public Policy continues. Our children must be Educated, not Indoctrinated!"
Republicans have long railed against alleged left-wing indoctrination in public schools and universities, citing "free speech zones," cases of professors and administrators showing hostility toward conservative students, and saying that in many cases faculty donate overwhelmingly to Democratic politicians and left-wing causes.

Maybe the Left has actually done us a favor by starting a national dialogue about defunding things.
Don’t forget about government loans to students at these indoctrination centers.
This is the absolute definition of winning! This is hitting at the core of these a-holes. Next up public school system and their superintendents!
More empty threats. When is Trump going to actually do something? I am tired of his threats?
God bless our President!
Start defunding at sports scholarships.
It's an election year. This is for campaign purposes.
Just describe it as an abortion.
Dont threaten ... do it!
And do the same to dem governors..
And isnt there something for the media.. smug in fake power ... can we give them a name.. they arent the newa and ‘media’ lets them off the hook.
Come up with a good name and get the smug off their face.
They gossip.. there is no free press.
We need to start asking our Republican State Senators and Representatives why they keep sending money to the state run universities and colleges where 75% or more of the Professors have a Leftist ideology.
Trump can’t do this by himself.
The current ratio between leftist professors, other faculty & staff to conservatives is 10:1 or worse.
Time to use the Dept. of Education as a hammer.
The solution for K-12 is to voucher education. The schools will not be responsive to parents until parents have the clout to remove their children and remove education dollars from a particular school.
Educators give lip service to being responsive. They either don't know what that means, or they don't care. They won't be responsive until their personal wellbeing is on the line. It may sound harsh, but that's the way it is for most businesses.
He admitted in an interview yesterday that he himself is letting reamed by the IRS. That his accountants and the IRS had reached a deal and the IRS reneagued it. That he felt he was being treated as bad as the Tea Party groups were.
So I have no illusions that the IRS will follow his requests in any way, unless forced to.
And if this holds up in court (it won't), tax breaks for churches will have to go.
I bet the great majority of tax payers would agree with the president.
The Leftists would have a fit, a seizure, a meltdown
