Take $3B From Harvard and All Us, Don't Give It To Trade Schools

I’m opposed to President Trump’s idea of taking $3 billion in federal grant money from Harvard and giving it to trade schools; however, I’m very much in favor of taking $3 billion from Harvard.

I’m against giving money to trade schools for the same reason I’m against giving money to Harvard. Both assume a nanny-state philosophy: that learning useful information is dependent on government funding. It’s not—and in many cases, the reverse is true. Read books and discuss them with smart people, and you are likely to have a reservoir of well-rounded knowledge and critical thinking skills absent from many of today’s college campuses.
