Trump to Launch Massive Attack Against Higher Education

US President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday said it is time to reclaim America's educational institutions from the radical Left, adding that the accreditation system will be used to achieve this end

The Republican said his administration will appoint new accreditors, who will impose real standards including "defending the American tradition in Western civilization, protecting free speech, eliminating wasteful administrative positions that drive up costs, incredibly, removing all Marxist diversity, equity and inclusion bureaucrats, offering options for accelerated and low cost degrees, providing meaningful job placement and career services, and implementing college entrance and exit exams to prove that students are actually learning".

He went on to reiterate his resolve to get the "anti-American insanity" out of institutions run on hundreds of billions of dollars from hard-working taxpayers.

Mr Trump also said he will direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination. Further, to penalise schools engaging in unlawful discrimination "under the guise of equity", he said he will bring in a law that will fine institutions up to the entire amount of their endowment.

I weep for my country.

Magat scum do you really want ------- in charge of higher education?

There isn't any American institution that is world leading that will survive the next two years.

People have been throwing around the phrase "great depression" and I scoffed initially.

But I really think that's where we're headed. The ripple effects will take years to pass and when we emerge, we'll be far far worse off than we are now in every way possible.

------- is going to get rid of the doe and somehow exert control over state education policies

OH NOOOOOOOOOO

WHY ???

--just let the elitists idiot children continue to attack jewish students...

--continue to shout down speakers in violation of the 1st amendment..

--support terrorists groups.

--and continue to be supported by the US taxpayer....( where they are )

--and then have hard working Americans pay for their so called "education"

--As for you two psychopaths.....the rest of your BS is just that....hyperbolic BS.

STFU idiot.

#8 | Posted by jpw at 2024-11-13 10:11 AM

First of all, that's not going to happen. Accreditation is largely independent and Trump can do almost nothing about it. Ironic though that Liberty and Hillsdale and Grand Canyon U (LOL) and Western Governors U (double LOL)can get BS "accreditation" while Trump is going to attack legit institutions, obviously for the only reason that they criticized him.

Higher education is already under attack because learned people vote Democrat; colleges by their very nature expose students to different cultures and ideas, and the students graduating are more accepting of these ideas. Google Florida or Texas and "higher education attacks" if you haven't heard or kept up.

Of course he is. By and large higher education is a liberal thing. It's not conservative.

They're a bunch of morons, and unfortunately, they're probably some of the more informed Deplorable Trumping MAGAts.

And you think that knowing how to do outdated work on an outdated machine makes you a better person than someone with the brains to not join a fascist cult.

It really needs it, look at all the students that owe so much money without any prospects.

Something needs to be done.

What's a sad, pointless world we live in when the only purpose for education are the potential prospects.

Art, music, philosophy have given so much to humanity.

100% of the non-magat scum population voted for VP Harris.

In a couple of years you will not be able to find more than a few hardcore magat scum who will admit to have voted for -------------- a lot with republican presidents.

I bet after a week of the "new" ------- a good number of the magat scum are at least having serious doubts about who they voted for-just look at the "what is a tariff google search demographic"

Sure helps to have uber rich fucks that control the social media and fed lies and disinformation to the masses right?
You pussies are all the same. When the flood of undocumented migrants lowered the average wages for blue collar workers you pigs in the white collars thought it was good for the economy and then when the HB-1 visa students started to take over the white collar jobs they whined like a buttered pig on the spit getting roasted. You think you're really smart because can make code or suck up all of TRump's BS yet you really have no awareness of what most people think of you. The guillotine will be coming back once enough people's lives are ruined by your lot. You will be first in line and people like me will be pulling the cord. Next time you are driving down the road and look down your nose at all those homeless camps just remember their faces as you will see them again as they drag you and yours up the wooden stairs, lay you down on a block and cut your head off.

Since the number of votes was nearly the same, the % of the population will be nearly the same...
