The Price of Ideology: Guess How Much One University Spends on Gender Studies

A single university is spending over $800,000 on a Gender Studies major that has only 11 students. Because for wokies, ideology is more important than anything else.

How many companies have lost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars on Pride campaigns that simply alienated a whole lot of customers? It’s the Dylan Mulvaney phenomenon. True, some of the companies later pretend to backtrack, but their corporate policies, political endorsements, and funding allotments for politicians and causes don’t change. 

Big Tech oligarchs pretended to be elated by Donald Trump's election, but their products — especially AI — are still rigged to favor leftism and suppress conservatives. University employees and grade school teachers are constantly being caught on hidden cameras admitting they are still incorporating DEI. Hollywood directors are still churning out woke films focused on skin color and sexual orientation rather than plot and characters. These cultists are not making these decisions based on customer appeal or financial success. They are ideologues. They are fanatical about trying to brainwash the public and transform the culture.

Speaking of which, in 2021, there were 27 students enrolled in the Towson University Gender Studies program, whose very existence is utter nonsense. By Nov. 2025, there were only 14 students in the program. And that includes both undergraduate and graduate students, according to Campus Reform. But did Towson ditch the program or gut the budget? No.

Towson University spent more than $870,000 on its women and gender studies program last year. The program encompasses only 11 individual undergraduate students. 

Towson’s undergraduate enrollment in fall 2025 was 16,361 students, which means that just 0.07 percent of the undergraduate student body was enrolled in the program that semester.

The department also offers a master’s program, which only awarded two degrees during the 2024-2025 academic year, and a certificate program, which had no graduates.

Towson refuses to acknowledge the program is a waste of money because they’re desperate to pretend the woke propaganda is necessary to the university.

I was reflecting on this because I love going to Disneyland with my immediate and extended family, and I love the heritage that conservative Christian Walt Disney left behind him. But the Disney Company is an example of how great the price of being woke is. Disney executives have now priced out most Americans from their theme parks. Instead of hiring employees based on qualifications instead of DEI, instead of halting new projects until they can get their current rides working, instead of making movies that people want to watch instead of movies that push an agenda, instead of returning to the values that Walt himself treasured, the Disney Company is going woke and going broke. No ticket price raise will restore their former prosperity because they are poor decision-makers and cultists.

But that is exactly the danger of these people also. Yes, they are losing customers, but they are counting on the possibility that they will outlast the current administration, wait for Democrats to regain control, and once again form a terrifying oligarchy with the federal government.
