Tim Walz's daughter has rejected a graduate school offer because she does not want to 'give money' to an institution that will not support students's rights to protest.
Protesting on campus has become a flash point of the Trump government, after the president had signed an executive order that pro-Palestinian activism described that campuses wiped against anti-Semitism last year.
He threatened to reduce federal financing to schools that allow 'illegal protests' and promised to lock up or send agitators' back to the country where they came from. '
American students who could not be deported were with expulsion and arrest, Trump said, at the same time forbidding masks that protect the identity of a demonstrator.
Hope Walz, whose Democrat Father Tim Vice President would have been if Kamala Harris won the elections, instead would take 'time' in the coming year to find a school that fits better with her values.
She said as a 'privileged white woman', the consequences of protesting on campus would not necessarily influence her personally, but that she did not want to give money to an institution that would not protect her colleagues.
Her comments led to indignation among critics who said that they went 'performance' and 'feminism for 50 years'.
“The apple is not far from the tree,” said another critic.
Hope shared her 'life update' about her tap account and told her followers: 'I went to the Grad school. However, I will not attend this fall and I will no longer go to the university for which I originally applied. '

“I applied for one school. I had my heart in one school and that is what I wanted to do.
'I am not going to mention the institution, but after recent events I decided that I was not going to give my money in debt, support institutions that do not support their students and the right to protest and pronounce for their communities.
'Students deserve to be protected. I am not worried about whether I would be protected or not at that institution, I am a privileged white woman, but I am not going to bring myself into a position where I give money or support institutions that do not support their students. '
Although Hope did not mention the school, various Ivy League institutions have been in the spotlight about protesting.
Columbia University agreed last week to bring its Middle Eastern Study -to new supervision and to overhaul its rules for protests and student discipline, in a movement that was seen as an extraordinary ultimatum by the Trump government.

As part of the radical reforms, the university will also assume a new definition of anti -Semitism and extend 'intellectual diversity' by staving his Institute for Israel and Jewish studies, according to a letter published by the Interim President, Katrina Armstrong on Friday.
The announcement took immediate conviction of some faculties and free opinion groups, which accused the University of Caving to President Donald Trump's largely unprecedented violation of the academic freedom of the school.
“Columbia's capitulation is in danger to national academic freedom and campus expression,” said Donna Lieberman, the executive director of the New York Civil Liberties Union, in a statement.
And in the commentary part of Hope's video, she was flooded with current and former students who said that the views of their schools 'broke their heart'.
“It's sad if these institutions do not support their communities,” said a former student of John Hopkins.
“University of Michigan broke my heart,” added another.
Hope said that her criticism of the school in which she was accepted “has nothing to do with students who are currently going there, much of the faculty.”
'But the people at the top make these decisions and I decided that I will not do that.
'I am going to do a little more research in the future, make sure that I go to schools that match my values ​​and maybe start in a year, which is okay. I didn't really rush. '
