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.

- U.S. Supreme Court declines Will McRaney’s lawsuit against Southern Baptist’s North American Mission Board.
- Lower court ruling stands, protecting Baptist churches from civil court interference in governance.
- Decision upholds First Amendment freedoms for nonhierarchical faith groups against secular intrusion.
The Supreme Court refused to hear former Baptist leader Will McRaney’s defamation suit against NAMB, letting a 5th Circuit ruling against him stand.
This ends nine years of litigation over a 2012 partnership dispute where McRaney was dismissed as executive director of the Baptist Convention of Maryland/Delaware.
NAMB celebrated the outcome as respecting Baptist self-governance and constitutional protections for ministry affairs.
“The outcome both respects Baptist distinctives and reaffirms that Baptists and other nonhierarchical faith groups are no less entitled to the First Amendment’s protections against secular intrusion into ministry affairs.”
Circuit Judge Andrew Oldham wrote that church autonomy doctrine bars courts from ecclesiastical matters.
“Civil courts cannot adjudicate ecclesiastical matters. The church autonomy doctrine also forbids courts from adjudicating matters of church governance, including church discipline and the church’s understanding of its own membership.”
Dissenting Judge Irma Ramirez argued McRaney’s secular claims warranted review, but the majority protected NAMB’s internal decisions.
This biblical principle of church independence, rooted in Christ’s headship over His body, safeguards God-ordained ministry from man-made overreach.
Religious liberty triumphs, ensuring patriots and believers defend faith against government entanglement. Join the fight for family, freedom, and faithful witness—share this vital update today.
