Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz’s daughter, Hope Walz, took to TikTok to claim she had been accepted to an unidentified institution for graduate school but turned down the opportunity.
She outlined her reasons, which included how the unnamed institution purportedly dealt with student protests.
“I got into grad school. I will not be attending,” she began. “I applied for one school. I kind of had my heart set on it. I am not going to name the institution, but given recent events, I am not going to give my money, go into debt for, or support institutions that do not support students and the right to protest and speak out for their communities,” Hope said in the TikTok clip.
“Students deserve to be protected. I am not worried about if I were to be protected or not at said institution. I am, you know, [a] privileged white woman. But I am not going to put myself in the position where I am giving money or supporting institutions that don’t support their students,” she continued.
Hope, 24, said she plans to “do a little bit more research” to make sure she’s applying to schools that “align with my values.”
Many viewers reacted to her announcement and reasoning on social media.
“One less unhinged white liberal woman on campus supporting Hamas terrorists and threatening innocent students who disagree with her insanity. Another win!” one reaction on X said.
“The poster child for an insufferable liberal,” another agreed.
Her declaration coincides with many universities making headlines for their response to student-led protests for various issues, including anti-Israel demonstrations, which sometimes become violent.
President Donald Trump’s administration revoked more than $400 million in federal funding from Columbia University due to its failure to protect students from anti-Semitism. This prompted the university to change its policies on discrimination and unauthorized protests, as The Daily Wire previously reported.
