University campuses are not only tolerating bigotry, they are encouraging it.

What the Trump administration is doing is overdue.

Campus radicals need to be kicked out and never allowed to get a degree.

Columbia has a $19 Billion Trust.  It's gonna take more than cutting off federal funds to disinfect that institution of the Marxist filth that have taken it over.  Same with many of the other Ivy League schools.

But I do think the cutting of the federal dollar spigot will have a positive effect on many State Universities and Colleges that rely more on tax monies.

We'll see.
