CNN data analyst Harry Enten recently pointed out that polls show the American people agree with Trump on the issue of higher education. Something is wrong.
The left seems to think Trump just got out of bed one morning and decided to go to war with Harvard and other universities. That’s not what happened at all, not even close. Colleges and universities in the United States have been allowed to transform into Marxist indoctrination centers over the years, where students are allowed or even encouraged to hate their country and allies like Israel.
All Trump is trying to do is return some semblance of sanity and balance to campus. This has been needed for years but Trump is the first American president to address the problem.
Most Americans agree that it needs to be fixed.

CNN’s Harry Enten reported that faith in higher education has suffered a stunning collapse in the last decade, with “most Americans” in agreement with President Donald Trump that there’s a real problem. Enten broke down the new polling showing that the perception of institutional liberal bias is a huge problem for colleges and universities.
Speaking with Kate Bolduan on Thursday, Enten explained that the percentage of Americans who express high confidence in higher education has “plummeted” from 57% in 2015 to just 36% as of last year — and not just among Republicans.
“That number has plummeted, plummeted as of last year, down to 36%. We’re talking about a 36-point drop among Republicans specifically,” he said. “Get this: 68% of Americans said that higher education was on the wrong track.”
Enten added that while “it’s a question of whether or not people agree with Trump’s tactics,” it is still the case that they “definitely agree with him on the idea that there is a problem with higher ed overall.”
Watch the clip below:

People on the left keep trying to frame this as a free speech issue. That’s a lie. Invite someone like Ann Coulter to speak at Harvard and watch their support for free speech go up in smoke.
