President Donald Trump’s war on higher education has been a central feature of his second term — with Trump targeting student protesters for deportation, revoking Harvard University’s ability to enroll international students, and yanking billions in research funding. But while Trump reserves much of his more public rancor for university presidents, student activists, and faculty, his administration is also preparing to launch an assault on a largely invisible population on college campuses: parents.
Earlier this month, the Trump administration proposed eliminating Child Care Access Means Parents in School, also known as CCAMPIS: the only child care program exclusively for lower-income students who are parents. Tucked into Trump’s proposed annual budget from earlier this month is a plan to eliminate all $75 million in funding for CCAMPIS. That’s separate from the $1.6 billion in cuts to tuition assistance for lower-income students proposed by House Republicans in their “Big, Beautiful, Bill,” which is predicted to be the largest wealth transfer, in the form of tax cuts, from the poor to the rich in the nation’s history.
Once again proving that Republicans do not have a cohesive ideology.
They want [certain] people to have more kids, but at every single turn make it harder for people to have and support kids.
They want them to have kids, they just want the kids to have the most awful upbringing they can force on them.
They want them to grow up poor with no chance at higher education so they’ll be forced to work low wage physically demanding jobs and to not have any idea of what kind of lives they should be living.The meat grinder is working exactly as they want it to.
All those pesky social programs keep allowing the poors to escape it.
Or enlist
Only people with money can have kids with some kind of future.
Everyone else - back to the mines. Or whatever the equivalent is in the brief time we have left here.
How is it that repubs are able to walk the streets?
They don’t in most places without security
That’s exactly what FoxNews was created for. And, as you can see, it’s worked extremely well.
The left pushed away anyone that would fight them because of toxic masculinity
It’s not the left that’s got that bug up their asses.
Really? I would like to be able to do that in this instance, could you provide instructions?
Fuck Trump. Education is a cornerstone of democracy and all in a civil society deserve it. We shouldn’t stand for this.
This has nothing to do with encouraging or discouraging having children. Trump knows that college educated people and the children of college educated people are far more likely to vote blue. His world is black and white. If you are not among his demographic he will punish you for your lack of support. End of story. He believes that colleges produce Democrats. Therefore, colleges are his enemy.
Trump hates smart women.
Well especially them, but I’m pretty sure he hates literally everyone who isn’t actively polishing his orange BBs
