As much as I absolutely despise gender studies, this would be the wrong approach for the US. What we need to do is defund.

No aid money or subsidized loans for that course of study. No charitable donation tax breaks for scholarships for that course of study. Ignore degrees in that course of study for federal employment. No federal money to state higher-ed programs that fund such courses of study.

I don't want to stifle the left's speech. I just don't want to pay for it.

I don't really know what I'm talking about, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was US federal money that motivated the creation of such things as gender studies in the first place. I mean all these silly majors and courses sound like bureaucrat training to me. The ones I know who actually get jobs get them in those kind of fields.

It was communism that started it. That's why Romania knows better, and that's why we should ban it.
