My guess as to why the higher education endowment is being targeted is because of the slanted political teaching in these schools. There was a poll that was featured in the news that revealed that a large percentage of youth would rather live in a socialist country and many of them even felt that they would rather live in a communist country rather than in a capitalist country. If the actual atmosphere and events in socialist and communist countries was accurately taught these institutions, the percentages would be close to zero. The violent protest that are permitted to occur in response to certain speakers is a product of what is being taught in these schools.
