Susan Crabtree: OMB Says States Use Education Grants for Radical Left-Wing Agenda

[1] This is undoubtedly true.

[2] Only a very few cases are cited in the article, however.

[3] As to the legal question of whether the administration can stop payment after Congress has allocated the funds...no idea. But I'm skeptical.

But look: K-12 and universities could end this kind of dispute right now by doing one simple thing:

Ending their leftist indoctrination and other misuse of public fund for leftist activism.

That is: live up to their public and pedagogical responsibilities.

It would be easy: just stop cheating.

Their argument seems to be:

It's bad for the government to bust us for misusing government funds, violating the public's trust and abusing students...because its efforts to stop us from doing those things might undermine some legitimate programs, too...

It's not like we're talking close calls here. Just stop using tax money on your loony political bullshit.

Though, again: the examples given in this piece aren't as outrageous as one might think. The most outrageous one seems to be hearsay.
