The US Department of Health and Human Services said on Monday that it was terminating $60 million in federal grants to Harvard University, saying the Ivy League institution failed to address antisemitic harassment and ethnic discrimination on campus.

US President Donald Trump’s administration has frozen or ended federal grants and contracts for the university worth nearly $3 billion in recent weeks.

Since taking office in January, the Republican president has sought to use federal research funding to overhaul US academia, which he says has been gripped by anti-American, Marxist, and “radical left” ideologies.

    Imaging those ‘students’ paying the expensive tuition fee but instead of study, they sleeping in tents on campus to ‘support’.

      Can you imagine that? People having empathy for those undergoing a genocide in which their university is complicit?

    Great idea if your goal is brain drain and total collapse.

    1. Drastically reduce immigration.
    2. Skyrocket the cost of imported goods, even things we can’t produce here (tropical fruit) and things we can’t quickly scale up manufacturing for.
    3. Attack education centers which results in the people who are here not getting the education needed to be valuable, skilled labor (doctors, engineers, programmers, etc).
    4. ???
    5. America is grate aggin.

    Hey @geneva_convenience Always love your posts! Just wanted to say that J Post is a far-right tabloid rag. So just suggesting that you try to find other sources for stuff like this in the future (not denying the truth of this story though).

      It is definitely a Zionist rag, but sometimes the ZIonist rags are so deep in their right-wing rhethoric that they start saying the truth like it is while thinking people will agree with them.
