Amid President Donald Trump’s attacks on Harvard, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt on Tuesday lambasted the usefulness of the university’s education, arguing the United States needs more “plumbers” rather than “LGBTQ graduate majors.”
In its latest blow against Harvard, due to accusations that the university is not combatting antisemitism, the Trump administration on Tuesday ordered federal agencies to begin the process of canceling remaining federal contracts with Harvard, totaling about $100 million.
According to Leavitt, Trump’s cuts are “common sense” since Harvard has a $53 billion endowment and is ”pushing anti-American values”:
“The president is more interested in giving that taxpayer money to trade schools and programs in state schools where they are promoting American values; but, most importantly, educating the next generation based on skills that we need in our economy and our society: apprenticeships, electricians, plumbers,” Leavitt told Fox News. “We need more of those in our country and less LGBTQ graduate majors from Harvard University.”
