EXCLUSIVE — Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC), chairwoman of the House Education and the Workforce Committee, threatened the taxpayer-funded status of the prestigious Truman Scholarship over its heavy anti-conservative bias.

“If the Truman Scholarship functions as a career booster solely for students of a particular political persuasion, it should no longer be worthy of congressional support, taxpayer funding, or its exalted public image,” Foxx and Reps. Robert Aderholt (R-AL) and Burgess Owens (R-UT) wrote in a letter.
