The North American Education Swindle: How Tax-Free Private Universities Use Public Money to Divide a Nation

 

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.

🎓 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.

💰 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.

📚 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.

🔍 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.

🧱 The Ideological Powerhouses – Billionaire Nonprofits of the Woke Elite

  1. Harvard University – $50.7B
    • 77% of faculty liberal; <2% conservative.
    • Massive DEI bureaucracy.
    • Over $1B in federal funds yearly.
  2. Yale University – $42B
    • “Objectivity” is called a tool of whiteness by faculty.
    • Open DEI enforcement in curricula.
  3. Stanford University – $38B
    • Racial affinity groups, reparations studies, and climate justice activism.
  4. Columbia University – $14B
    • Anti-Israel epicentre; major player in critical race dissemination.
  5. Brown University – $6.5B
    • Courses in “abolishing capitalism” and eco-socialism.
    • 94% left-leaning faculty.
  6. UC Berkeley
    • Speaker shutdowns, radicalized departments, and activist faculty unions.

💼 The Progressive Performers – Privilege Wrapped in Activism

  1. USC – $8.1B
    • Rich student body, radicalized arts & social science programming.
  2. UPenn
    • Internal battle: Wharton (pro-market) vs. CAS (radicalized).
  3. Emory
    • Supports police abolition discourse, identity-based grading models.
  4. Northwestern
  • Mandatory ideological training for most faculty and students.

🔬 STEM Safe? Think Again – Ideology Creeps In

  1. CalTech

  • Even physics courses face grading pressure through "equity lenses."

  1. Rice University

  • Strong in science, but social studies promote intersectional theory.

  1. WashU (St. Louis)

  • High DEI payroll, “justice-focused” faculty hiring policies.

  1. University of Michigan

  • $14M/year in DEI bureaucracy; censorship of conservative student press.

  1. Cornell University – $10B

  • Teaches “Decolonizing the Mind” and “Prison Abolition” as core studies.

  • Demands mandatory anti-racism statements for hiring and promotion.

🛑 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?

🧭 What Needs to Change?

  1. Annual Ideological Disclosure: Require nonprofit schools to publish faculty political diversity stats and ideological hiring practices.
  2. Reform or Revoke Tax-Exempt Status: If an institution functions as a political advocacy platform, it should be taxed like one.
  3. Federal Grant Audits: No more blank checks. If public funds are misused for activism, cut the spigot.
  4. 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

🔚 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.
