FOREIGN NATIONS FUNDING AMERICAN SCHOOLS: A THREAT TO OUR FUTURE

Yesterday, Trump stripped Columbia University of $400 million in federal funding because it allowed pro-Hamas, anti-Jew protests to take over its campus time and time again. With this in mind, I thought it would be useful to highlight the amount of foreign influence in our education system.

In the same way I outlined on Friday how foreign money is taking over our media, today, I shine on the light on how the foundation of our children’s future is being infiltrated by foreign nations with deep pockets and deeper agendas. I’m not going to sugarcoat things or play nice with my narrative, and if I sound “racist” to some of the Lefties who read my newsletter so be it — fact is you, and our education system, destroyed the true meaning of racism. You want real racism? See Columbia University.

Facts matter more than some idiot’s feelings! 
I’m here to present the facts, supported by hard evidence, so you can decide if this is the America you want for your children. If the truth offends someone, that’s their issue—not mine. The reality is that foreign nations, including the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), are funneling billions of dollars into our education system—both K-12 schools and universities—and it’s not out of charity. This is about influence, control, and, in some cases, outright espionage. These nations aim to shape our children’s perceptions, often encouraging views that undermine American values and align with foreign interests that contradict our founding principles. While no nation matches the United States in its commitment to liberty and opportunity, many of the countries involved in these funding schemes have troubling records. Their governments often engage in corruption, suppress their own citizens, and promote policies that destabilize the global order. My perspective is informed by historical evidence and the well-documented actions of these regimes toward their own people.

First off, let’s talk numbers.
According to reports, over 200 U.S. colleges and universities, including elite institutions like Carnegie Mellon, Cornell, Harvard, and MIT, have raked in a staggering $13 billion in “undocumented contributions” from foreign governments between 2014 and 2019. That’s right—undocumented, meaning unreported to the U.S. Department of Education, despite federal law requiring disclosure of any foreign gift or contract worth more than $250,000. Carnegie Mellon alone scooped up $1.47 billion, Cornell got $1.29 billion, Harvard nabbed $894 million, and MIT collected $859 million. Who’s footing the bill? Authoritarian regimes like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, China, and the UAE, among others. Qatar leads the pack with $2.7 billion, followed by China at $1.2 billion, and Saudi Arabia at $1.1 billion. These aren’t small amounts of money —these are massive sums designed to buy influence.

Now, let’s zoom in on China.
The CCP’s involvement is particularly insidious. Reports indicate that since 2012, China has funneled $1.73 billion into American universities, often to fund Confucius Institutes—CCP-backed programs that claim to teach language and culture but are widely criticized as tools of propaganda. Harvard, Yale, and Stanford alone have taken in over $100 million each from Chinese entities since 2014, with Harvard and Yale nearing $200 million. And here’s the kicker: almost two-thirds of these Chinese donations are anonymous or unidentified, meaning we don’t even know who’s behind them or what strings are attached. The University of Pennsylvania, home to the Biden Center, received over $50 million in foreign funding since Biden’s inauguration, including $14 million in anonymous gifts from China and Hong Kong. Coincidence? Not a f*cking chance.

But it’s not just universities.
The CCP is targeting our K-12 schools too. A report called “Little Red Classrooms” revealed that over $17 million from Chinese government-linked entities has flowed into 143 school districts across 34 states and Washington, D.C., often through Confucius Classrooms—essentially mini versions of Confucius Institutes. At least seven of these contracts are still active in states like Texas, Kentucky, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Washington. Even more alarming, the report found CCP ties to school districts near 20 U.S. military bases and infiltration into three of our top science and technology high schools. This isn’t about cultural exchange—this is about indoctrination and national security.

Now, let’s talk about the Arab nations. 
According to a 2023 report from the American Israeli Cooperative Enterprise, four Arab countries—Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Kuwait—have donated a whopping $11.7 billion to U.S. higher education since 1981, accounting for 94% of all donations from 14 Arab states and the Palestinian Authority. Qatar alone has shelled out $5.7 billion, followed by Saudi Arabia at $3.3 billion, the UAE at $1.4 billion, and Kuwait at $1.3 billion. The top recipients? Cornell, Texas A&M, Carnegie Mellon, Georgetown, and Northwestern. And here’s the rub: no one knows how 73% of these funds—over $9.5 billion—were allocated. Is this about education, or is it about buying goodwill and influencing U.S. policy? Qatar, for example, has cultivated relations with Jewish groups, not out of altruism, but in the antisemitic belief that Jews can sway U.S. government decisions. Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, has funneled 44% of its donations since the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, as if money can erase that stain.

So, what’s the establishment narrative?
They’ll tell you this is all about “global collaboration” and “cultural exchange.” They’ll say universities need foreign funding to stay competitive, and K-12 schools benefit from “diverse perspectives.” But let’s critically examine that narrative. If this were really about collaboration, why are so many of these donations anonymous? Why do universities like Stanford anonymize the names of Chinese donors who’ve given over $64 million since 2010? Why did the Biden Department of Justice end the “China Initiative,” a Trump-era program that busted people like Charles Lieber, the Harvard chemistry chair secretly funded by the CCP and accused of academic espionage? And why did Biden’s Department of Education obscure data, delete dates, change contribution amounts, and even erase some donations altogether, bowing to pressure from groups like the Council for Advancement and Support of Education? Transparency, my foot—this smells like a cover-up.

The risks here are real. 
The Trump administration’s Department of Education found that foreign sources hostile to the U.S. are “targeting their investments to project soft power, steal sensitive research, and spread propaganda.” A 2019 Senate report called foreign government spending in U.S. academia “effectively a black hole.” Federal officials have warned that nations like China are using our colleges to steal research and technology, citing cases of Chinese nationals working at U.S. schools while secretly serving the CCP. And in K-12 schools, the proximity of CCP-funded programs to military bases raises serious national security concerns. Are we really okay with our kids being taught by programs linked to a regime that oppresses its own people and threatens our way of life? No, we are not. Get the Chinese, get the Middle Easterners, get all of them the f*ck out of here. We do not need them, we do not want them — nor do we need their money.

Kick them all out.
Am I in the minority for saying we need to rid ourselves of these foreign “investors”? Perhaps you believe we should welcome their “investments” in America. If that’s your view, then at the very least, we must know who’s giving, how much, and why. That’s why I applaud leaders like Senator John Kennedy, who introduced the Preventing Malign CCP Influence on Academic Institutions Act. This legislation forces schools to disclose any gift over $5,000 from a Chinese-affiliated entity, including the donor’s full name and details of joint activities. We need more of this—greater transparency, stronger accountability, and far less willingness to bow to foreign powers.

The bottom line is this: our schools are shaping the hearts and minds of the next generation, and we cannot allow foreign nations—especially adversaries like the CCP—buy their way into that process. It’s time to demand answers, hold universities accountable as Trump has pushed for, and protect our sovereignty. Because if we don’t, we’re not just failing our kids—we’re failing America.

If I were in charge, I’d end the unchecked flow of foreign money into our schools and tighten student visa programs to prioritize national security. When I think of our schools, I want the American flag flying proudly, I want English as the language of instruction, and I want classrooms that reflect the values of traditional America—think Norman Rockwell, not revisionist history. I want American history taught properly, celebrating our founders as the visionaries they were, not tearing them down with labels like “privileged” or “racist.” I want a return to core American principles—unapologetically—and that means rejecting influence from nations that wish us harm. If anyone disagrees with putting America first, they’re free to leave, but I’m fighting for the country I love.
