According to Mediaite, Reid disseminated her views via a brief TikTok video, in which she presented a clip of Trump outlining his plan to impose taxes on schools that engage in what he perceives as "racial discrimination." Trump's proposal includes utilizing a portion of the collected funds to compensate the "victims" of such policies.
In the video, Trump is heard stating, “Furthermore, I will direct the Department of Justice to pursue federal civil rights cases against schools that continue to engage in racial discrimination and schools that persist in explicit unlawful discrimination under the guise of equity will not only have their endowments taxed, but through budget reconciliation, I will advance a measure to have them fined up to the entire amount of their endowment. A portion of the seized funds will then be used as restitution for victims of these illegal and unjust policies, policies that hurt our country so badly.”
