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.

- CNN is releasing a documentary portraying ‘Christian nationalism’ as a threat and linking it to Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
- The documentary has been criticized for warning against the influence of classical Christian schools and for suggesting a shift among Christians after Kirk’s death.
- Christian leaders and commentators highlight that, in response to tragedy, many turned to faith, holding peaceful vigils and seeking spiritual revival.
CNN’s recent documentary has prompted concern by attempting to connect Christian values in America to negative events and radicalization. The program casts classical Christian education and faith-led communities as causes for worry, rather than recognizing their positive impact on family, faith, and national unity.
Several voices within the Christian conservative movement are challenging this biased narrative, pointing out that believers responded to loss and adversity with prayer, unity, and renewed dedication to Biblical truth. Instead of destruction, the faithful came together in peace and spiritual awakening, anchored by hope and trust in God.
“How is that a bad thing? What are we even talking about here?”
Families who embrace Christian values know the importance of raising children in faith, cultivating leaders grounded in truth and moral courage. Education rooted in Christian principles equips the next generation to preserve freedom and stand boldly for righteousness in the public square.
Now more than ever, we are called to champion the influence of Christian schools and the right to live out our faith in every sphere of society. Stand firm in truth and do not be swayed by media campaigns that distort the heart of the Christian community.

Standing for faith, family, and freedom requires perseverance and prayerful resolve. Share this news and continue upholding biblical principles in your community.
Faith Facts
- Spiritual disciplines such as prayer and introspection must guide Christian action in society.
- Acting impulsively can lead to counterproductive outcomes, as shown by Simon Peter’s reaction in John 18:10.
- Transformative faith involves moving from self-sufficiency to belonging and from control to trust.
Christian duty compels us to act for justice and mercy, but our actions must be rooted in steady spiritual discipline. Without preparation of heart and soul in Christ, well-meant efforts can stray from God’s purpose.
“It sounded legalistic, robbing me of my freedom in Christ. And my time was already so pressured, with an unjust war to stop, after all.”
Through intentional practices—prayer, reflection, accountability, and quiet retreat—believers become equipped for meaningful service. Wes Granberg-Michaelson’s example shows that transformation starts with humble engagement with God before striving for change in the world.
Embracing spiritual discipline ensures our engagement advances love, patience, and truth, rather than division or haste. The journey moves us toward deeper authenticity with the Lord and one another.
Major social change unfolds over time and requires steadfast faithfulness, including an open heart even toward opponents. Lent offers an opportunity to cultivate these practices and answer God’s call with both conviction and compassion.
Stand strong in faith as you work for good, ensuring your actions are shaped by Biblical grounding and the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
