The Myth of “Neutral Education”
In the United States and Canada, nonprofit
universities are granted immense privileges. They're shielded from
federal taxes, their endowments grow tax-free, they receive tens of billions in
public funds annually, and they enjoy nonprofit legal protections — all in the
name of “public good” and “education.”
But here's the truth: many of these
institutions no longer serve the public and no longer educate
in any classical sense. They indoctrinate, manipulate, and rewire minds not for
liberty but for collectivism, entitlement, and ideological submission.
It is time to reassess their nonprofit
status, their tax-exempt empires, and their cultural influence, because
the bill for their distortion of society is being paid by the very taxpayers
they deride.
π Tax-Free Indoctrination:
How Nonprofit Universities Became the Engine Room of American and Canadian Divisions.
Although
private universities have been established in several Canadian provinces, the
majority of universities in the country remain publicly funded.
π° The Nonprofit Scam: Tax Breaks, Billion-Dollar Endowments, and Zero
Accountability
Let’s follow the money.
- Harvard
holds an endowment of $50.7 billion.
- Yale
sits on $42 billion.
- Stanford
boasts $38 billion.
These amounts are not merely stored wealth — they’re invested capital,
generating billions more in tax-free returns each year. And while they operate
under a “nonprofit” umbrella, these universities:
- Charge
obscene tuition fees (often $60K–$80K/year),
- Lobby
for taxpayer-funded student aid to sustain their pricing power,
- And
churn out ideologically radical graduates trained to attack the very
system that feeds them.
This isn't education — it's a self-reinforcing propaganda economy
with nonprofit perks and no market consequences.
π Indoctrination Over Education
Studies from Heterodox Academy, FIRE, and the National
Association of Scholars all confirm the same trend:
At elite U.S. universities, more than 90% of faculty in
humanities and social sciences identify as liberal or far left. Fewer than 5%
identify as conservative or libertarian.
Departments once devoted to free inquiry — political science, sociology,
history, education — now enforce intellectual conformity, treating
capitalism, individualism, and patriotism as diseases to be cured.
Meanwhile, students who dissent from progressive orthodoxy often face:
- Grade
penalties
- Social
ostracism
- Denied
opportunities
- Cancellation
of speakers they invite
This is not education. This is ideological reprogramming
subsidized by your tax dollars.
π The Ivory Tower's Tax-Free Ideology Complex
Despite claiming to be bastions of “truth” and “diversity,” many of
America’s and Canada's top nonprofit universities are actively shaping society through
radical collectivist narratives — all while receiving billions in federal
grants, student loans, and state/provincial funds.
They produce policy architects, media influencers, and corporate
HR bureaucrats who carry this ideology into every corner of society.
π§± The Ideological Powerhouses – Billionaire Nonprofits of the Woke Elite
- Harvard
University – $50.7B
- 77%
of faculty liberal; <2% conservative.
- Massive
DEI bureaucracy.
- Over
$1B in federal funds yearly.
- Yale
University – $42B
- “Objectivity” is called a tool of whiteness by faculty.
- Open
DEI enforcement in curricula.
- Stanford
University – $38B
- Racial
affinity groups, reparations studies, and climate justice activism.
- Columbia
University – $14B
- Anti-Israel
epicentre; major player in critical race dissemination.
- Brown
University – $6.5B
- Courses
in “abolishing capitalism” and eco-socialism.
- 94%
left-leaning faculty.
- UC
Berkeley –
- Speaker
shutdowns, radicalized departments, and activist faculty unions.
πΌ The Progressive Performers – Privilege Wrapped in Activism
- USC –
$8.1B
- Rich
student body, radicalized arts & social science programming.
- UPenn
- Internal
battle: Wharton (pro-market) vs. CAS (radicalized).
- Emory –
- Supports
police abolition discourse, identity-based grading models.
- Northwestern –
- Mandatory ideological training for most faculty and students.
π¬ STEM Safe? Think Again – Ideology Creeps In
-
CalTech –
-
Even physics courses face grading pressure through "equity lenses."
-
Rice University –
-
Strong in science, but social studies promote intersectional theory.
-
WashU (St. Louis) –
-
High DEI payroll, “justice-focused” faculty hiring policies.
-
University of Michigan –
-
$14M/year in DEI bureaucracy; censorship of conservative student press.
-
Cornell University – $10B
-
Teaches “Decolonizing the Mind” and “Prison Abolition” as core studies.
Demands mandatory anti-racism statements for hiring and promotion.
π Why This Matters: Influence Without Oversight
These universities:
- Craft the worldview of
tomorrow’s judges, senators, journalists,
and tech
execs.
- Reject merit in favour of identity
metrics.
- Normalize speech control,
collectivism, and guilt-based policy.
- Yet enjoy full
tax exemption and federal privileges without
checks.
It’s long past time to ask:
Should institutions that enforce ideological dogma,
violate intellectual
neutrality, and abuse
public trust retain nonprofit
protections?
π§ What Needs to Change?
- Annual
Ideological Disclosure: Require nonprofit
schools to publish faculty political diversity stats and ideological
hiring practices.
- Reform
or Revoke Tax-Exempt Status: If an institution
functions as a political advocacy platform, it should be taxed like one.
- Federal
Grant Audits: No more blank checks. If public funds are
misused for activism, cut the spigot.
- Restore
Intellectual Balance: Tie accreditation to
true viewpoint diversity and academic freedom protections.
Public Awareness Campaigns: Voters must see these schools for what they are — ideologically weaponized aristocracies
π Final Word: The Empire Hides Behind “Nonprofit”
2. The American university system
once stood as a pillar
of free inquiry and debate. Today, too many of its elite
members act more like ideological
corporations — tax-free, state-funded, and utterly devoted to
reshaping society in their image.
3. They do not deserve our silence.
They do not deserve our
money.
And increasingly, they do not deserve our
protection under tax-free statutes. Here we have turned the lights on by letting the public see it for what it is — and maybe, just maybe, spark the reform we need.
