Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump announced a “higher education” platform he’d implement in a return to the White House which includes a plan to seize endowments from universities that engage in racial discrimination “under the guise of equity.”
Trump’s latest effort to reform education in America comes via a campaign video.
“For many years, tuition costs at colleges and universities have been exploding, and I mean absolutely exploding while academics have been obsessed with indoctrinating America’s youth,” he stated.
“The time has come to reclaim our once great educational institutions from the radical Left, and we will do that.”
The plan involves imposing “real standards,” defending the “American tradition,” removing diversity, equity, and inclusion bureaucrats, and making education affordable again.
“When I return to the White House, I will fire the radical Left accreditors that have allowed our colleges to become dominated by Marxist Maniacs and lunatics,” added Trump.

Trump Going After University Endowments
Another vital aspect of Trump’s plan includes directing the Department of Justice to pursue civil rights investigations into institutions that engage in racial discrimination.
The former President intends to go after the endowments of such universities through taxes or budgetary measures.
“Schools that persist in explicit unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity will not only have their endowment taxed, but through budget reconciliation, I will advance a measure to have them fined up to the entire amount of their endowment,” said the former President.
He contends the seized funds would then be distributed to “victims of these illegal and unjust policies.”

The Fight to Fix Education
Education seems to be a very important aspect of Trump’s presidential campaign. He has produced multiple videos discussing how he intends to reform an institution that has become a cesspool of far-left socialist groupthink.
Earlier this year, the former President announced his vision for saving American education and giving “control of schools back to parents.”

Trump also promised to cut federal funding for schools that push critical race theory or extreme gender ideology on their students.
He called for an Education Department civil rights investigation into race-based discrimination and an ‘aggressive’ pursuit of freedom of religion violations in schools.
Now, Trump claims he’ll get the DOJ involved with those racial discrimination cases while seizing endowments, a move that represents a step above and beyond simply cutting funding.

The Republican frontrunner has also vowed to adopt a parental bill of rights that includes “complete curriculum transparency” as a means for parents to fight back against the “pink-haired communists” littering the education landscape.
“Colleges have gotten hundreds of billions of dollars from hard-working taxpayers and now we are going to get this anti-American insanity out of our institutions once and for all,” he concluded.
