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.

- Sudan’s conflict has killed at least 150,000 people and displaced over 13 million, leaving 30 million in need of urgent help.
- The United Arab Emirates, under Sheikh Mansour, has supported one side in the war through finances and arms, implicating major football interests in the West.
- Christian communities in Sudan, especially in Darfur and the Nuba Mountains, are enduring targeted violence and persecution.
The situation in Sudan is dire, with its people facing immense suffering and Christians among the most vulnerable.
As followers of Christ, it is important to recognize the impact of injustice and stand firm in faith and prayer for Sudan’s people.
For nearly three years, the conflict between the Rapid Support Forces and the Sudanese Armed Forces has led to grave human rights violations.
“We believe in the power of prayer to bring about change.”
Both factions have attacked hospitals, schools, and places of worship, with the RSF especially targeting communities based on ethnicity and faith.
The connection between the war and international interests is evident, as evidence shows the UAE—led by Sheikh Mansour—actively backs the RSF.
This support has a direct tie to the English Premier League, since Sheikh Mansour owns Manchester City FC.
Scripture calls us to seek justice.
The Premier League has implemented new rules to hold club owners accountable for human rights abuses, reinforcing their moral and biblical responsibility.
Christians in the United Kingdom have gathered in prayerful protest, inviting others to urge the league to promote justice and peace in Sudan.
Our voices matter, and prayerful action can uplift the persecuted and bring hope to Sudan’s Christian communities.
Sign the petition and let your voice be heard for truth, freedom, and healing.
