The billionaire said he was committing $1 billion to fund a loose network of universities around the world to help educate young people and promote “personal autonomy”

DAVOS, Switzerland—George Soros, the billionaire hedge fund manager-turned-philanthropist, said he was committing $1 billion to fund a loose network of universities around the world to help educate young people and promote “personal autonomy.”

Mr. Soros, 89 years old, used his annual dinner and speech at the World Economic Forum here to announce the initiative, calling it the most important one of his life.

Soros’ very own re-education camps.

I would like to teach young people to not to buy into free 'volunteer work' 'free internship', especially when management of the organization/company is making half a million a year. Labor is a commodity. Learn to respect yourself and negotiate your wage! Start your business!

Soros funds re-education camps in anticipation of a socialist takeover in 2020.

Tom Steyer is a good candidate for this.

How about Soros simply placing his money into the under-funded public school systems - where it should have gone via taxes in the first place!! These 1%-ers are disgusting!!

To indoctrinate generations with his liberal views.

Hope this guy burns in hell.

georgesoros What a hero. Donating a billion dollars of his trillions of dollars hidden in shell companies and offshore assets. What a contribution to the people of the world. This is why Crony Capitalism gets you and who created that? The Democrats, holy shit I never knew

90 years old? Can't take your money with you so it's nice to give it to America's failing educational system. Give all school's computers and good tech teachers.

this is that evil wankers

If you contribute, you'll get more of this....

Why is this man so hated by so many of the social media commentariat?

he finances only propaganda among students, that's the only meaning of of program word in this way

Honestly that's great but we wouldn't have to rely on the kindness of strangers if we just fixed the tax code

To Soros, education=propaganda

For a better world ,but a betterworld for who ?

there you go BABY!!!!!!

Hard pass

To topple democratically elected Goverments he disagrees with. Scumbag

Must be smelling a hefty profit for himself.

Disturbed dude.

He means Socialism

My 1st donation would be to Ashesi university in Accra, Ghana. Ashesi GeorgeSoros

Re-education camps from a guy who when he was a kid used to out people hiding to the Germans I’m sure this will end well

Coming in India...and our NGO and there communist master will enjoy this....our left-lib like American money specially for their NGO....

BS! This is the most evil person in the world. If he is finding anything, it is for radical left-wing indoctrination, not real education.

Yes, to brainwas kids into believing Leftist nonsense and globalism!

Ponzi King

Garbage! This is to indoctrinate and spread liberalism.

He's a DISGRACE to people everywhere his buying of socialist prosecutors in our country is dangerous to us all

comunista infeliz viviendo capitalista

Why dont rich people donate this much to Australia for the fires?

Who need skools and books when all the facts are on fox and the internet!? MAGA

Liberal, socialist education.

Is that what we’re calling communism now?

Define “Young”

Nazi billionaire

Training Tyrants to run their New Worl Order.

Wow people who can think for themselves. Something most Americans cannot do.

This guy is an enemy to America.

Dude is a war criminal a Leftist and a Nazi.

Zzzzzzzz... Whatever rich guy. While you're at why don't you start paying a fair share of taxes? You probably get way more than that in tax breaks that go straight to shareholders, O Magnanimous One!

More like Facism.

What does this evil person want?

Someone needs to help educate Americans.

I totally agree. But we are few in any case. But it's better than nothing! Thanks Soros!

We want actual education taught not indoctrination

Mr Soros is a good man.

How long with the Sith Lord curse us?

When is Congress going to repeal the Speech & Debate Clause that allows them to Lie with Immunity? Does not the USA need Accountability To The Truth by our Elected Officials & the Press? Is this not a Double Standard? Why should anyone tell the Truth? Ask for new Legislation!

correction: to help brainwash them!

Ummm... Reëducation

Indoctrination?

Scary thought

When we allow the imagination to run free we may find that it throws some frightening ideas. ,,

Sounds like an 'Overlord'

Here comes a batshit crazy conspiracy theory from the right wing.

You mean to create social justice warriors who get paid to blindly riot? RIP

just stopped by for the anti-Semitism

“A fool and his $ are soon parted.”

Anyone who thinks for one moment that the left wants anything to do with 'personal autonomy' is far to stupid to be allowed to vote. Everything about the left is about the collective.

Last thing humans need

WSJ is new Soros pawn.

Brainwash money

Conservatives and their Kremlin masters all hate Soros exactly because of this; he’s one of the last good rich left in the world, the last Jedi.

Tell him to stop meddling

I have learned more than anyone could ever teach me
