I know this is not a new topic or stunning revelation on CC, but it’s a wrapup of the latest information & I thought it would be useful.
Gosh and they accuse liberals of trying to brainwash students.

Here’s something they have funded at UW-Madison.
The Kochs aren’t the only ones, nor the biggest spenders:

The Kochs gave $19.3 million to George Mason University to open the Antonin Scalia School of Law in 2016. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/29/us/koch-brothers-antonin-scalia-george-mason-law-school.html
Wasn’t the $19M donation made to rename the already existing school and to fund a few new professors?
I’m sure it didn’t cost 19 million to change the name on the building and pay for a couple professors. The school spent the money on something.
Yes, of course the school spends the money; we’re just clarifying that this was an existing law school, rather than the founding of a new one. The law school has had a reputation for libertarian conservatism for years before the renaming.
I believe the Koch brothers are libertarian conservatives and not social conservatives
Then I guess that makes sense they would choose that school to focus on.
They also fund an economics “research institute” at George Mason. Son was interested in DC area schools and econ, but this is no place for young idealistic kids who want to do good, not with the type of biased brainwashing going on there !
Nope, don’t want to risk college kids getting exposed to any biased brainwashing on campus.
I was an econ major at George Mason - lol I don’t think I was brainwashed, unlike the poor kids going through common core.
I’m laughing here. 
It’s not brainwashing that is actually the objection here, just brainwashing in the “wrong” direction.
You mean they might learn some free market capitalism along with their intersectionality training?
Nooooooo! 
The Humanity!!!
