Do you consider yourself more left or right wing?

Wasn't directed solely at you.  The previous page was about cancel culture and I saw a headline yesterday, didn't follow the full story, but seemed like it fit cancel culture.  Also the whole boycott Hogwarts Legacy is another example.  For the record I hate cancel culture on both sides.  Free speech means hearing things you don't like, part of life. 

Also why do billionaire colleges even get federal funding?  Harvard has an endowment of $53,000,000,0000...  they need my tax dollars why?

Gotcha, your post was right after mine so I thought you were replying to it, my bad.

I did a quick google search and from what I understand, private universities don’t get direct funding from the government, it’s things like applying for research grants, students getting financial aid and using the tax code to get tax breaks so it’s not like the government is handing them a blank check that they can use on whatever they want.

Overall, I agree that private universities shouldn’t be getting federal funds and that money could be used to bring down the cost of community college & public universities but regardless, Trump shouldn’t be able to cancel that funding because he doesn't like what they say or do.

Agreed on both points.

Especially with financial aid.  Give someone 60k a year for Harvard or give 6 people 10k each for a State School...  easy decision.  Any University worth billions shouldn't be receiving my tax dollars.
