The Trump administration’s plan to redirect nearly $500 million in federal funding to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and tribal colleges, even if it is mainly a one-time payment, cuts funds from programs set aside for colleges with large numbers of Hispanic students.
This is nothing more than the old gambit of robbing Peter to pay Paul, and it will leave both parties disgruntled and unfulfilled. Like many of Trump’s maneuvers, it’s a divide-and-conquer tactic to create turmoil, another distraction up his devious sleeve.
Education Secretary Linda McMahon provided an explanation, stating that the money was being redirected “from ineffective and discriminatory programs toward those which support student success.”
What requires more context on this issue is how one minority group’s program is racially discriminatory and another is not. Depriving one and boosting another makes no sense at all when there’s enough to fund both.
We wholeheartedly agree with the elected officials who are upset by the cuts, noting that those programs “have long had bipartisan support and fueled social mobility for working-class Americans.”
America is experiencing far too much division and diversion, and this action will only intensify the differences between the groups that have been embroiled in the reparations demands.
If money must be taken from other programs, we are sure the Defense Department and Homeland Security would not be severely affected. Of course, finding an alternative funding method would be inconsistent with the aim of fomenting discord and sharpening disagreement between Black and Brown citizens.
There is no need for us to fight over crumbs from the government when the Treasury Department has sufficient funds for us all. It’s merely a matter of being fair and democratic — something hitherto missing from the Trump administration.
