President Donald Trump has announced a sweeping plan to overhaul higher education in the United States, targeting what he describes as a leftist agenda that has taken over colleges and universities. His vision focuses on cutting waste, protecting free speech, and ensuring students receive a real education that prepares them for meaningful careers.
Trump sharply criticized skyrocketing tuition costs, which he says are driven by bloated administrative expenses and radical programs. He vowed to restore accountability by reforming the college accreditation system, which he argued has failed students and taxpayers alike.
Trump's plan to dismantle the U.S. indoctrination system (college) by seizing funds from schools that refuse to comply with his accreditation system.

“The accreditors are supposed to ensure that schools aren’t ripping off students, but they’ve allowed our colleges to be taken over by Marxist maniacs,” Trump said. He pledged to fire leftist accreditors and replace them with new organizations committed to setting rigorous academic and financial standards.
The proposed reforms include protecting the American tradition and Western civilization, eliminating unnecessary administrative positions, and removing Marxist Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) bureaucrats. Trump also plans to require colleges to offer accelerated and affordable degree options, implement entrance and exit exams to ensure educational quality, and provide robust job placement services.
Time to end the indoctrination camps.

In addition to academic reforms, Trump vowed to take a hard stance on racial discrimination in universities. He announced plans to direct the Department of Justice to prosecute schools that engage in discriminatory practices under the guise of equity.
Institutions found violating these standards could face fines equal to their entire endowment, with a portion of the funds redirected to victims of unjust policies.
“Colleges have received billions of taxpayer dollars while promoting anti-American insanity,” Trump said. “We will reclaim our educational institutions and ensure students are learning real skills that benefit them and our economy.”
Crazy that these videos were online for 2+ years and people are only seeing it now because YouTube banned him
