Sen Tim Scott, a Republican presidential candidate is suggesting that Congress pull Pell Grant funding from Universities that allow anti-Semitism on campus.
Anti-Semitism is running rampant on university campuses all across the United States in woke universities where students have been indoctrinated by Marxist professors.
It is amazing that Democratic politicians and college professors have become so enamored of their terrorism. Raping women and beheading babies have made these thugs heroes to those on the left.
Tim Scott said:
“We cannot be surprised when we allow for this behavior to continue to spread like a cancer. Now we see ourselves with foreign students on college campuses and our own students joining together, calling for Jewish genocide. They’re actually advocating for mass murder and they’re encouraging terrorism.”
“Those universities and colleges that will not hold them accountable should lose their Pell Grant funding.”
Scott has already begun to take action in the Senate, leading a group of GOP colleagues in announcing legislation that would make universities less attractive to students who would have to make up the difference themselves. That would withhold money from colleges and universities that “authorize, fund or facilitate events that promote violent antisemitism.” It comes as no surprise that Marxist universities such as Harvard University, the University Of Pennsylvania, and Georgetown University have “hotbeds of antisemitism. Somehow they cherish terrorists that target omen and children and their deaths which are done in the most heinous way.
Scott said in a statement:
“Any university or college that peddles blatant antisemitism, especially after Hamas’ brutal attack on Israeli civilians, women and children, has no place molding the minds of future generations, never mind receiving millions of taxpayer funds to do so. We must not only call out this hate, but crush it wherever it rears its ugly head. If these schools don’t change their ways, my legislation hits them where it hurts – they’re pocketbooks. No college or university should receive a single cent from the federal government to fund violent antisemitism.”
Scott, who has been serving in the U.S. Senate for more than a decade, announced his 2024 presidential campaign in May. At the time he said the United States was in “retreat” under President Joe Biden, who is seeking a second term in the White House.
Roughly two and a half months until the Iowa caucuses, Scott is hovering around 2% in national polls. Another candidate, Nikki Haley, has called for revoking tax-exempt status for schools that do not fight anti-Semitism.
Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., wants to ban any federal student aid from going to colleges and universities that facilitate or promote events with an antisemitic message.
The new legislation introduced Thursday comes in the wake of dozens of anti-Israel rallies hosted by student groups, and in some cases encouraged by faculty, following the devastating Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack that killed the most Jews in a single day since the Holocaust.
The Stop Antisemitism on College Campuses Act would keep those schools from eligibility for Title IV funds, which includes federal student aid. As a reference point, in the 2020-2021 school year, the total Title IV funding dispersed by the federal government was roughly $125 billion.
