Trump is not backing down and conservative applaud it.
Washington, D.C. — In a sweeping crackdown on radical ideology in higher education, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has officially canceled over $2.7 million in federal grants to Harvard University, citing serious concerns over the school’s “anti-American” and “pro-Hamas” campus culture.
The action comes amid growing national outrage over antisemitism and extremist rhetoric at taxpayer-funded institutions.
🚨 Why Did DHS Pull the Plug on Harvard’s Federal Grants?
Secretary Noem declared Harvard “unfit to be entrusted with taxpayer dollars,” accusing the elite university of allowing radical, divisive ideologies to flourish—at the expense of national values and student safety.
Two major grants were canceled immediately:
- $800,303 for “Implementation Science for Targeted Violence Prevention” – a controversial program DHS says labeled conservatives as violent extremists.
- $1,934,902 for the “Blue Campaign Program Evaluation” – a federally funded public messaging project accused of being ideologically biased.
Noem warned Harvard it must submit student and faculty records by April 30, or risk losing its ability to enroll international students under the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP).
✅ FACT: Harvard’s endowment tops $53.2 billion—larger than the GDP of some small countries.
🇺🇸 President Trump: “Harvard Is a Joke”
Former President Donald Trump didn’t hold back. In a viral social media post, Trump slammed Harvard’s leadership, saying:
“Harvard has become a JOKE… They hire woke radicals who teach nothing but failure and hate. They should receive ZERO federal funds.”
Trump has already frozen $2.2 billion in pending federal funds for the Ivy League school and formally asked the IRS to revoke its tax-exempt status—a move currently under review.
🧾 Harvard Responds—But Critics Aren’t Buying It
Harvard issued a defensive response, warning that losing its tax-exempt status would “jeopardize medical research, scholarships, and innovation.”
But critics argue the university has plenty of money and should not rely on American taxpayers while tolerating antisemitism and pushing anti-American views.
📊 DID YOU KNOW? The IRS is actively reviewing Harvard’s 501(c)(3) status, and the Department of Justice is monitoring.
🔍 More Federal Scrutiny Is Coming
Secretary of Education Linda McMahon is leading a federal audit into over $255 million in contracts and nearly $9 billion in grants connected to Harvard.
“Harvard has utterly failed to protect Jewish students and has prioritized woke ideology over basic human decency,” McMahon said in a recent statement.
This follows similar enforcement against Columbia University, where student protests and antisemitic incidents have prompted national concern.
🎯 Why This Matters to You
Many older Americans are asking: Why should our hard-earned tax dollars fund radical left-wing indoctrination?
With an elite institution like Harvard sitting on billions in endowment funds, the question is not whether they can survive without taxpayer support—it’s whether they should be allowed to continue undermining the country while collecting it.
🔔 Stay Informed: What’s Next?
As the Trump administration intensifies its push to restore accountability and patriotism in higher education, more elite schools could face similar consequences.
