Congress did one and only one thing today.
The House passed a bill to withhold money from universities if they don’t play nice with Israel.
I voted No.
It’s not proper for our federal government to coerce universities into engaging with any particular foreign country.
Today, rather than focus on the price of gas, the price of groceries, ending the war, or stopping the trade war, Congress spent its time declaring this.
“Dear colleges that receive American taxpayer money: We will take away that American taxpayer money if you decide to keep it from going to Israel.”
Aside from being blatantly unconstitutional, it’s wild. Why is it wrong to want our taxpayer money spent here to provide for schools here instead of being sent somewhere else?
