Billionaire's 'Philanthropy' or Socialist Takeover? Texas Universities Caught in the Crossfire

Oh, great. Another billionaire is throwing money at universities like it’s Monopoly cash, and of course, Texas is on the receiving end. MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon’s overlord Jeff Bezos, just dumped $7.1 billion into nonprofits—because what else do you do with all that divorce money? Apparently, the answer is not buying a private island or funding a space race, but instead, showering institutions with 'unrestricted' funds. How very woke of her.

Let’s break this down, folks. Three Texas schools—Texas A&M International, Texas A&M-Kingsville, and Prairie View A&M—just hit the jackpot. That’s right, while the rest of us are struggling with inflation and the rising cost of brisket, these universities are sitting on stacks of cash like they’re in a rap video. And what’s their plan? 'Expanding tuition affordability' and 'supporting rural nursing programs.' Sounds suspiciously like socialism to me. When did higher education become about helping people instead of turning a profit?

But here’s the real kicker: Scott doesn’t even take applications. Nope. She just chooses who gets the money, like some kind of philanthropic Santa Claus. No accountability, no transparency—just a billionaire playing Robin Hood with zero oversight. And let’s not ignore the fact that these donations are going to institutions that champion DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). Folks, this is how they get you. First, it’s scholarships and emergency aid. Next thing you know, they’ll be replacing the Alamo with a gender-neutral co-op.

And Prairie View A&M? They’ve already gotten $113 million from Scott. That’s enough to buy every student a Tesla and still have change left over for avocado toast. But no, they’re using it for 'academic support programs' and a writing program named after Toni Morrison. Because nothing says 'Texas values' like progressive literature and need-based scholarships.

Wake up, people! This isn’t charity—it’s an agenda. While you’re busy worrying about property taxes and gas prices, the elites are quietly reshaping education in their image. And mark my words: the next step will be mandatory tofu cookouts on campus. Stay vigilant. Stay skeptical. And for the love of barbecue, follow the money.
