WOW: Pete Hegseth CUTS Funding for Military Attendance at Woke Elite Universities

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth just announced that the Department of War is cutting off ties with woke academic institutions that indoctrinate, rather than educate, students.

They will no longer be providing tuition assistance to soldiers attending left-wing Ivy League universities — including Yale, Princeton, Brown, Columbia, MIT, and many others.

“We’re done paying for the privilege of our enemies’ wicked ideologies to be taught to our future leaders” Hegseth said in a video message shared on social media,

“We’ve had enough!”

This comes after Hegseth announced that the Pentagon is ending its relationship with Harvard earlier this month.

The Hill has more:

Earlier this month, Hegseth announced the Pentagon would cut all academic ties with Harvard starting in the 2026-27 school year, contending the country’s oldest university is “one of the red-hot centers of hate-America activism.”

The move marks another chapter in Hegseth’s culture war against academia since taking the helm at the Pentagon.

On Friday, Hegseth said he would direct a formal “top to bottom” review of the U.S. war colleges to ensure they are “once again bastions of strategic thought, wholly dedicated to the singular mission of developing the most lethal and effective leaders and war fighters the world has ever known.”

War colleges provide professional military education to high-ranking officers, Pentagon civilians and international partners, with a focus ranging from joint operations to national security and strategy.

“We’re going to hold ourselves accountable as well,” Hegseth said in the video.

“As a final message to our warriors, the Ivy League faculty lounges may loathe you, the so-called elite of academia may mock your patriotism and disdain your sacrifice, but never forget that we the War Department have your back.”

Wow.

This move is long overdue!

Huge! Stop funding the woke mind virus.

Thank goodness! The Ivy League became second-rate decades ago due to their affirmative action and DEI policies…good riddance.

Focus on building lethal warriors, not subsidizing ideology. Practical and overdue.

Do you support ending funding for military attendance at woke, leftist universities?
