President Donald Trump has made it clear where he stands on the woke policies of far-left institutions across the United States. One example involved an ultimatum he gave Harvard University to either change some of its “diversity, equity, and inclusion” programs or forfeit its substantial federal funding. The Ivy League school flatly refused, prompting a response from the president, as The Hill reported: “Harvard is a JOKE, teaches Hate and Stupidity, and should not longer receive Federal Funds,” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social early Wednesday. Harvard was the first university on Monday to openly reject the Trump administration’s demands to change its policies. The federal government then paused $2 billion in contracts, and Trump has threatened its tax-exempt status. University lawyers rejected a demand to change the school’s leadership structure, student disciplinary policies, admissions and hiring practices, as well as providing a quarterly report on progress and ending diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices. “No government — regardless of which party is in power — should dictate what private universities can teach, whom they can admit and hire, and which areas of study and inquiry they can pursue,” Harvard University President Alan Garber said. The Trump-Harvard feud has been the topic of substantial social media discussion: JUST IN: President Trump calls for Harvard to LOSE their tax exempt status They ABSOLUTELY should. And we should pull ALL tax dollars being funneled into that anti-American indoctrination camp. pic.twitter.com/1UpFT3qpDN — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) April 15, 2025 BREAKING: Trump absolutely goes off on Harvard, says they should lose federal funding and that they hire left-wing “birdbrains” to teach students “failure” “Harvard can no longer be considered even a decent place of learning, and should not be considered on any list of the… pic.twitter.com/gtdt1DSXSv — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) April 16, 2025   Here’s a full transcript of the post referenced above: Everyone knows that Harvard has “lost its way.” They hired, from New York (Bill D) and Chicago (Lori L), at ridiculously high salaries/fees, two of the WORST and MOST INCOMPETENT mayors in the history of our Country, to “teach” municipal management and government. These two Radical Left fools left behind two cities that will take years to recover from their incompetence and evil. Harvard has been hiring almost all woke, Radical Left, idiots and “birdbrains” who are only capable of teaching FAILURE to students and so-called “future leaders.” Look just to the recent past at their plagiarizing President, who so greatly embarrassed Harvard before the United States States Congress. When it got so bad that they just couldn’t take it anymore, they moved this grossly inept woman into another position, teaching, rather than firing her ON THE SPOT. Since then much else has been found out about her, but she remains in place. Many others, like these Leftist dopes, are teaching at Harvard, and because of that, Harvard can no longer be considered even a decent place of learning, and should not be considered on any list of the World’s Great Universities or Colleges. Harvard is a JOKE, teaches Hate and Stupidity, and should no longer receive Federal Funds. Thank you for your attention to this matter! A recent op-ed published in the New York Post highlighted the short-sightedness of Harvard’s decision: In this case, Harvard and its defenders act as if antisemitic campus rallies are a civil right for the school instead of a violation of Jewish students’ civil rights! And, unlike Columbia, which had the good sense to accept federal demands, Harvard is ready to fight. In their letter rejecting intervention, Harvard’s lawyers say it “will not surrender its independence or relinquish its constitutional rights.” As others have noted, what would we call this blanket defense if the students who had been harmed were black instead of Jews? In refusing even to negotiate, the so-called best and brightest have opened themselves to massive financial penalties. The blowback started immediately, with the White House announcing it has frozen $2.2 billion in multiyear grants and canceled a $60 million contract. The president also raised the prospect of ending Harvard’s tax-exempt status. Overall, Harvard is said to get about $9 billion a year from Washington, with the vast bulk going to affiliated hospitals and medical centers. Here’s some additional coverage of the developing narrative:
