Defund the Universities! The Ultimate Strike Against Leftism: The Epicentre of Toxic Chaos! By Chris Knight (Florida) and James Reed

In the wake of the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk on September 17, 2025, the internet has erupted with a horrifying spectacle: legions of Leftists crawling out from their safe spaces to celebrate the murder of a patriot. Elon Musk warns of more violence to come, while Michael Savage declares we're already in a one-sided civil war. As Molly Slag astutely observes in her piece (link below), the heart of this Leftist rot beats strongest in academia. Victor Davis Hanson nails it: America's and the West's plunge into moral chaos, from suppressed crime stats to outright assassinations, stems from the poisonous ideologies fermented in university halls. It's time for the Right to stop playing defence and launch a non-violent, strategic counterattack. And the bullseye? Defund the universities! Cut off the funding to this Leftist indoctrination machine, and watch the house of cards crumble.

The modern university isn't a bastion of free thought; it's a terrorist training ground, as the Babylon Bee satirically, and not inaccurately, proclaimed. From churning out zombie activists who cheer assassinations, to fuelling the cultural Marxist agenda that divides the West, Big Ed has gone rogue. Defunding isn't just a policy tweak; it's a declaration of war on the intellectual tyranny that's poisoned generations. In the US, with conservatives holding Congress, the White House, and key statehouses, we have the power to make it happen. No more subsidies for snowflake factories, starve the beast and reclaim Western civilisation! It will show the way for Australia and the rest of the West.

Why Universities Are the Root of Leftist Evil

Let's face facts: the Left's grip on power doesn't come from the ballot box alone; it flows from the ivory towers. Universities are the breeding ground for the ideologies that justify violence, censorship, and moral decay. Kirk's assassination? Celebrated by academics' ideological spawn who view conservatives as existential threats. Musk and Savage are right to sound the alarm: this isn't hyperbole, it's the inevitable fruit of a system that teaches hatred as virtue. Hanson traces the descent: from woke curricula that whitewash history to departments that opt for DEI over truth; universities are the command centre for Leftist aggression.

Defunding hits where it hurts. These institutions suck up billions in federal grants, student loans, and state appropriations, money that props up tenured radicals spewing anti-Western bile. Cut the cash, and the simmering cesspool dries up. No more funding for gender studies programs that redefine biology or critical race theory classes that breed racial resentment. Imagine: campuses forced to compete on merit, not Marxist dogma. Eliminate federal and state departments of education, scrap teacher certification mandates, and let local school boards hire real educators. People are policy; replace the Leftist puppets with patriots who teach actual skills, not grievance.

This isn't pie-in-the-sky; it's actionable strategy. If universities are incubating terrorists, as evidenced by the post-Kirk glee from their alumni, then treat them like the criminal enterprises they are. For the US, invoke RICO statutes to dismantle the networks funding and protecting this madness. The USA PATRIOT Act, with its counterterrorism tools for investigation and surveillance, provides the framework to probe these ivory tower terror cells. Why stop at satire when the law backs us? Defund first, then prosecute the enablers. It's poetic justice: use the Left's own tools, expanded surveillance and anti-terror laws, against their stronghold.

Critics will cry "censorship," but that's the Left's playbook. We're not banning ideas; we're stopping taxpayer dollars from subsidising sedition. With Trump-era momentum, a determined Congress can redirect funds to vocational training, trade schools, and K-12 reform that emphasises patriotism and basics. States like Florida and Texas are already leading; expand that nationwide. The result? A generation freed from Leftist brainwashing, ready to build, not destroy.

To truly win against Leftism, we must decapitate its academic heart. Defund the universities, and the ripple effects will be seismic: fewer activist judges, less media bias, no more rigged elections fuelled by elite echo chambers. Musk's warning of violence? A defunded academia starves the radicals of recruits. Savage's civil war? Averted by choking the ideology at its source. Strike Big Ed now, while we hold the levers of power.

Patriots, this is our moment. Demand defunding from your representatives. Rally, vote, and push until every dime flows away from the Leftist labs. The West was built on hard work and freedom, not tenure and trigger warnings. Defund the universities, and let's make education great again. Defund, and topple the ivory tower!
