Trump Administration Targets Campus Antisemitism Nationwide
In a bold move to uphold the values of faith, freedom, and family, a newly established task force under the leadership of President Trump is taking decisive action against the alarming rise of antisemitism on American university campuses. This initiative is a testament to the administration’s commitment to safeguarding the principles that define our great nation.
The task force is set to scrutinize ten universities, including the prestigious Columbia and Harvard, which have been identified as hotspots for antisemitic activities since October 7, 2023. These institutions may face significant federal funding cuts if found complicit in allowing “illegal protests” that threaten the safety and dignity of Jewish students. President Trump made it clear on his Truth Social platform that such behavior will not be tolerated, stating, “All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests.”
The U.S. Department of Justice has announced that the task force will engage with university officials, students, staff, and local law enforcement to assess the situation and determine if remedial actions are necessary. This comprehensive review could result in halting the $5 billion in federal grant commitments to Columbia University due to the institution’s “ongoing inaction in the face of relentless harassment of Jewish students.”
A joint statement from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Education, and the General Services Administration confirmed the federal government’s resolve to combat antisemitism. They are considering halting $51.4 million worth of contracts with Columbia University, highlighting the administration’s dedication to ensuring that taxpayer dollars are not used to support institutions that fail to protect their students.
Columbia University, in response, issued a statement affirming their commitment to combatting antisemitism and all forms of discrimination. They expressed their intent to work with the federal administration to ensure the safety and wellbeing of their community. However, the reality on the ground tells a different story. Anti-Israel protesters recently invaded a campus building at Barnard College, an affiliate of Columbia, causing injuries and significant damage.
Barnard College President Laura Ann Rosenbury condemned the disruption as a “calculated act of intimidation” and emphasized the need to protect the campus community from such divisive actions. This sentiment resonates with the values of individual responsibility and respect for others that are foundational to a moral society.
Linda McMahon, the new Secretary of Education, has been vocal about the need to end intimidation and hatred on campuses. She stated, “Americans have watched in horror for more than a year now, as Jewish students have been assaulted and harassed on elite university campuses.” Her leadership underscores the importance of holding institutions accountable to their responsibility to protect all students from discrimination.
This initiative by the Trump administration is a powerful reminder of the need to uphold traditional values and ensure that our educational institutions remain bastions of learning and respect. As we stand firm in our faith and commitment to freedom, we must continue to support efforts that defend the rights and dignity of every individual, fostering a society that reflects the biblical principles upon which our nation was founded.

- Scotland’s government is being urged to reconsider radical abortion proposals following an expert group report.
- The group recommended abortion be permitted up to birth and removed key medical safeguards.
- Christian leaders and pro-life advocates warn these changes threaten the sanctity of life and Christian moral values.
Miriam Cates has sounded the alarm about growing abortion extremism in Scotland. She highlighted in her commentary that the government’s Abortion Law Reform Expert Group lacked any pro-life members and featured leaders from the nation’s largest abortion provider.
“There is a clear conflict of interest here. Abortion providers, who stand to benefit from many of the proposals the report suggests, including largely removing them from criminal liability, diluting reporting requirements and scrutiny … were given free rein to lobby for a law to suit their purposes,” she said.
The Scottish government faces criticism for going further than Westminster on issues like assisted suicide and abortion. Cates warns that allowing abortion up to birth, including by medical professionals at full term, endangers women and unborn children.
BPAS has expressed support for expanding these policies into England and Wales. Cates appeals to lawmakers across the United Kingdom to reject such radical changes that disregard the value of life created in God’s image.
Stand for biblical truth and protect the most vulnerable—pray for a culture that reveres life from conception to natural end.

- An unidentified man in Los Angeles painted over a misleading billboard to proclaim, “The Bible says … Jesus is God.”
- The original billboard was part of a campaign rejecting Christ’s divinity and promoting unbiblical doctrines.
- Christian leader Ray Comfort affirmed that the Bible clearly teaches Jesus is God, refuting modern and ancient heresies.
The transformation of a controversial billboard in California has reignited the discussion around faith and the importance of biblical truth. An act captured on video showed an anonymous individual revising a message that denied Jesus’ divinity, boldly defending the core of Christian belief.
Ray Comfort, a respected voice in Christian ministry, addressed the issue plainly.
“These signs have been erected by a strange sect that claims to believe the scriptures yet openly denies the deity of Christ — a contradiction the Bible doesn’t permit,” Comfort said.
He pointed to Scripture’s affirmation of Christ’s divinity as foundation for Christian faith.
“Jesus himself said, ‘I came down from heaven and before Abraham was, I am’ — a direct claim to deity that is here understood clearly,” he added.
Comfort warned believers about groups promoting teachings contrary to biblical Christianity, encouraging adherence to sound doctrine.
Stand strong in defending biblical truth, and let your voice reflect unwavering faith in the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
