In an opinion column for Fox News, Liz Peek argues that socialism is spreading in the United States and blames left-leaning university faculties for cultivating it among students. She contends that defeating the ideology at the ballot box is not enough, and that the Trump administration must cut off taxpayer funding to the higher education institutions she says are responsible for spreading it.

Peek credits the Trump White House with beginning this process, noting that the Department of Education introduced changes from 1 July, though the provided article text ends before detailing exactly what those changes involve. The piece reflects a broader conservative critique, echoed elsewhere on the site, of student debt policy, university funding and the Democratic Socialists of America's growing influence within the Democratic Party.
