Private schools

Harvard University was in the news because the government is holding up their money until they make changes. Many people are surprised to find out that private schools are getting government money. “Stanford, Northwestern and the Ivy League universities have collected a combined $33 billion in taxpayer-funded grants and contracts and another $12 billion in tax breaks on their endowments over the last five years, according to new data from OpenTheBooks.com. One of the reasons that this is of concern to certain people is because many of these same people opposed giving government money to private K-12 schools.
