First he wanted EVERYONE to go back to school in the fall…
Now?
Since some colleges have cancelled sports programs and won’t reopen in the fall?
He has gone after colleges punitively …
First has gone after the online programs by telling and foreign student they must leave the country for being online and not in a classroom…
That is up to $45 Billion in revenue for colleges….
Now he want’s to take away some colleges tax advantages ?
Donald Trump’s political desperation is working to wrecking the country colleges and universities …
Trump did not name specific institutions whose tax-exempt status he wants the Treasury Department to review. Most private and public colleges and universities are exempt from taxes because they qualify as 501(c)(3) organizations.
It would fall to the IRS, a bureau of the Treasury Department, to conduct the review that Trump described. However, federal law prohibits the IRS from targeting groups for regulatory scrutiny “based on their ideological beliefs.”
Trump’s latest remarks come amid his escalating battle over schools’ plans for learning during the coronavirus pandemic. The president has sought to pressure schools to physically reopen come fall, even suggesting he could withhold federal funding from those that do not comply with his demands.
Schools across the country shuttered in the spring and moved to virtual learning amid the pandemic, and local officials are contemplating plans for safely restarting classes in the fall while preventing the spread of the coronavirus. Trump has suggested local officials want to keep schools physically closed for political reasons and not health ones .
The president has recently complained about schools being driven by what he describes as a radical left-wing ideology. He spent a decent portion of Independence Day remarks at Mount Rushmore warning of a “far-left fascism” controlling American schools, newsrooms and other institutions….
Note…
It seems that Trump thinks ‘Black Lives Matter’ protesters where a lot of college students taking on-line course’s instead of being in school?
So he’s going after them?
