The Trump government’s action to keep Harvard From the enrollment of international students, To lose his accreditation And too Cance off the federal financing Are weapons against Harvard and high education in general. Taxes to start a big university Is another tool that is used to dampen

Anti -Semitism There is nothing and is a persistent concener for all Jews.

When Trump exploits the contempt of antisemitism to carry out his personal cusade against university education, his laser focuses on Jewish students and faculty bees in and from ITS. It draws these people unnecessarily to attribute it to be twisted so that they look like victims who don’t.
Jewish students are well represented in university formation by inventing themselves Between 8 and 24 percent The students of the students at the Ivy League schools. The list of public schools that have10 percent or more of their students who identify as Jewish Is both long and geographically daily, including the University of Florida (19 percent), the University of Maryland College Park (19 percent) and the University of Michigan (15 percent).

All groups and subgroups should be treated fairly. But “fair” does not always mean “the same”. By using antisemaism as a rod in the punishment of Trump’s universities Machiavellian plan Is fully developed, and the negative concentration with antisemaism events even of his problem is much wider with high education.
If Trump Trump Trump indeed takes an impression on the suppression of antishmitism, his current efforts only serve to ignite anti -Semitism and pray it.
