Look who was on my plane today from DC to San Francisco. Escorted by 5 armed security people to a waiting 2-car caravan. Who is paying for this? I thought Fauci was “retired?” Enjoy Dr. Jebra Faushay

Powerful. Brave. Speaking truth to power. Time for a new movement. Time to "defund the schools" of indoctrination. It starts with donors. Just say no. Shai Davidai

I love this idea. It channels my inner Milton Friedman. Let the free markets rule! Along a similar vein can we also auction to the highest bidder the spectrum currently given to legacy broadcast tv media?

Defunding is a start. but we also need to create a "do not fund" list so that they get no new federal dollars for the next 4 years. Oh, and let's not forget about taxing university endowment income! And while we are at it, why not let the universities backstop any student debt

One overreaction deserves another. Let’s stop issuing student visas. 300,000 students are here on student visas from China alone. That is $30B per year going to the universities. From China. Shut off that spigot and the universities will lean on the judges overnight
