You and I have to pay more taxes so elite universities that willfully break the law discriminating against Jews, whites, and Asians can get tax exemptions. It’s a slap in the face. Yet Harvard alum Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is trying to turn the tables, accusing the Trump administration of “weaponizing” the IRS to strip Harvard of its 501c3 tax exempt status.

Truth is, Harvard should lose its tax-exempt status because it’s guilty of illegally allowing the civil rights of Jewish students to be trashed. The case against Harvard is a slam dunk. Numerous other universities where Jewish students are persecuted, including Ivies like Columbia and Yale, should lose their exemptions too.

This isn’t about making left-wing academia more balanced. Section 501c3 of the Internal Revenue Code bars colleges and other organizations that enjoy tax-exempt status from engaging in “propaganda” or favoring political candidates, but the IRS has always turned a blind eye to campus leftism. We may have to live with the reality that most universities are bastions of left-wing indoctrination. No one wants the IRS to bludgeon universities into conforming to the president’s ideal of intellectual diversity. Under a future president, the hammer could swing the other way.
