This is not an “anti-education” issue. This is a “fairness” issue.
Why should “grants” be given to America’s richest colleges at all?
If the federal government ceased to fund the university social sciences and education departments academics would consider it a catastrophe. And if, for example, the government ceased funding the science labs (Sandia, Livermore, etc.,) the eschatologists would attack the government like the Romans attacked Masada.
