Greetings, reader.
It seemed that taking a vacation might help me process the shocking news of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. But, upon my return, I realized things didn’t quite go as I expected.
Purge Them
From what we know, Tyler Robinson’s journey toward violent leftist radicalization mirrors many other similar cases found in niche online communities. However, there’s a crucial difference in Robinson’s experience.
What many forms of radicalism lack is an established support system that’s credible in the eyes of American elites. This, however, is what Robinson found at university, which likely encouraged his immersion into “critical gender” and related theories, rewarding him with qualifications along the way. When academia offers a form of legitimacy, it paves the way for infiltration into political, educational, and legal realms.
The solution seems straightforward: schools must be cleaned up.
We have recognized for years that these institutions serve as breeding grounds for the radical left. In particular, over the last decade, they have shifted toward becoming regressive and, at times, violent spaces.
If Trump’s administration possesses any resolve, it should consider a large-scale purge of academia, which has, in essence, transformed into madrasas promoting violent neo-Marxist ideologies. Since 2014, this ideology has seeped into various facets of American life.
They need to be held accountable.
Before discussing methods, let’s address the elephant in the room: this isn’t an issue involving both sides. It’s clearly a problem rooted in leftist ideology.
Those in positions of power often strive to frame this as a bipartisan issue. After all, having extremists willing to commit violence can certainly benefit their agendas.
Various commentators refer to “studies” suggesting that right-wing extremism accounts for more violent incidents. However, these studies, like those by the Prevention League, are flawed. They inaccurately label incidents to fit their agendas—calling prison violence “right-wing” or even misclassifying acts by anti-government anarchists.
They skew the data to obscure the real source of radicalism in the U.S. This needs to be disregarded entirely.
I could easily challenge their claims with a simple question: can anyone point out a single instance of conservative students vandalizing props set up by liberals?
Where are the recordings of conservative students engaging in violent confrontations on campus?
Have there ever been videos showing right-wing students attacking someone for expressing liberal views?
For instance, consider the incident involving Riley Gaines, where she was chased through a campus building and felt unsafe for hours. This garnered widespread media attention.
Are there any comparable examples involving the right? Not really.
Even expressing condolences for Charlie Kirk on campus can lead to hostile reactions.
The radicalism cultivated within universities poses a serious threat to the country. Therefore, Trump must take significant action against these institutions.
The approach is straightforward, though it demands courage.
Any university receiving public funding should be subject to governmental scrutiny, including their internal communications. Many state universities rely heavily on taxpayer money, and some private institutions do as well.
Trump should direct the FBI to scrutinize the internal communications of these universities comprehensively. The Fourth Amendment doesn’t apply in the same way, especially for civil servants.
We need to take a hard look and expose what’s really happening.
It would also be wise to hire third-party entities to compile and publish these communications in easily searchable formats, before the typical legal hindrances come into play.
While we suspect which universities may be problematic, this approach will yield credible evidence.
Once the public sees just how radical these institutions have become, it could generate a political will to bring them to account. Perhaps, it will also allow for a closer inspection of their budgets and staffing.
When the necessary changes begin, they should initiate the process themselves.
I aim to see a significant reduction—say, 50%—in university faculties by 2028. Ultimately, taxpayers will want funding directed towards STEM, vocational schools, and medical training.
It’s time to cut off the resources going to humanities departments, critical theory, and fringe sectors. They should be forced to confront their failures.
We have to bring an end to this campus madness. A thorough cleansing of these institutions is vital. This has to happen now.
Finally, this all ties back to the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk.

If universities aren’t training American extremists, they might as well be nurturing rival regimes.

How foolish can one be?
