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.

Faith Facts
- Most Anglicans would stop donations if reparations continue.
- 81% believe church funds should aid local parishes and clergy.
- The Charity Commission warned about misuse of church resources.
A new poll reveals that most Church of England members oppose plans to allocate £100 million for slavery reparations. Many churchgoers are concerned this undermines the mission to support local parishes and those in spiritual need.
Conservative Members of Parliament and peers have spoken out against Project Spire, warning it could break Charity Commission regulations requiring donated funds to serve their intended charitable mission.
“By privileging one group’s suffering over others, reparations may fail to reflect biblical justice and compassion,” said Lord Nigel Biggar, a respected Christian moral theologian.
According to the survey, more than half of Anglicans may withhold future financial support if these plans move forward. Only 19% of respondents prioritize reparations over local ministry support.
Many faithful Christians believe church resources are best used directly to serve parishes, uphold biblical stewardship, and strengthen families in Christ.
Let’s continue to stand boldly for biblical values and wise stewardship in our churches, putting faith and community first.

- Phillips openly maintains her career in the adult entertainment industry, despite proclaiming renewed faith and holding beliefs contrary to biblical standards.
- Christian commentators and ministry leaders have emphasized discernment, calling for prayer and caution while upholding God’s grace for anyone seeking Him.
The recent baptism of Lily Phillips has ignited conversation within Christian communities regarding repentance, public witness, and genuine faith.
Phillips defended her choices, stating her walk with God is “personal, ongoing, and rooted in grace, not in public approval or moral perfection.”
While Phillips maintains nontraditional beliefs and lifestyles, she claimed her faith journey is sincere and asks for understanding from fellow believers.
Some Christian leaders and commentators, such as Jon Root, remain skeptical of her profession of faith due to the persistent nature of her career and theology.
“Currently, I don’t see the fruit of saving faith in Jesus Christ,” Root stated, highlighting concerns over the evidence of spiritual transformation.
Former adult performer and Christian leader Joshua Broome encouraged prayer for Phillips, emphasizing that only God knows the heart and is able to work through anyone’s story.
“God is not limited by imperfect people, unclear motives or messy beginnings,” Broome affirmed, reminding believers that divine grace can reach anyone in any circumstance.
