The decision by the Trump regime to defund Harvard University is a justified response to that institution’s arrogant refusal to align with the administration’s priorities, particularly on issues like combating antisemitism, eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, and ensuring universities align with American values.
I agree that they should be defunded as they refuse to comply. I also find it ironic that such a prestigious school had to initiate a remedial math course as many of their incoming students were not up to "par".
Well said, David. The irony of all this is that traditionally the academic institutions were relied on to permit Freedom of Speech to moderate political radicalism by ensuring open debate, now it is the other way around. The government is insisting that an academic institution moderate its political radicalism and permit freedom of speech. You couldn’t make it up! Let’s hope Trump’s fight for common sense prevails.
The arrogance of Harvard, thinking they are above the law of the land. The only institutions that should receive government funding are those teaching useful skills, not academic ivory towers.

Defund all for profit schools and corporations. Taxpayers have been taken advantage for decades. Enough is enough.
