Private institutions aren’t inherently related to government. If you decide to fund something, you can stop funding it. What’s stopping them from finding other funds, and why does the government have to fund things that are not part of it? If you want to talk about pushing ideology, that’s what the public school system is for.
But I did answer. Whatever you fund, you have the ability to stop funding. Maybe those institutions and companies shouldn’t be relying on the government to fund themselves? The moment you even put funding as a government into something private you are creating leverage for wielding them. I don’t think governments should be putting their hands in like that, and don’t be surprised that pulling out has similar effect.
I’m just saying, there are plenty of rich people who have the power and probably the agreement with it to fund the institutions whose government funds are being taken away. The moment you get government funds you accept that they can be taken back. The current administration can do whatever they want with the funds that they have. If the apportionment is not favorable to you, appoint another executive, or don’t fund the government, i.e stop paying taxes.
Not the speech of private citizens. Free speech should be absolute for everybody of their own volition. The President absolutely can and should restrict taxpayer money from being used to fund certain ideologies. For example, a teacher should not be allowed to teach CRT in the classroom to children. That’s not what we pay them to do. The teacher can say and do anything she wants OUTSIDE of the classroom during her own free time, but not on the taxpayer’s dime.
