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.

- 4,000 Protestant churches closed in 2024 while 3,800 were started, according to Lifeway Research.
- Older congregations are declining most, with new churches more likely to grow.
- Churches closed this year account for nearly 1.4% of the Protestant churches noted in the 2020 U.S. Religion Census.
America is witnessing a shift as more Protestant churches close than open.
That trend affects communities and families across the nation.
This trend highlights the importance of church planting to continue sharing the gospel.
It also strengthens the foundation of faith-based values in American life.
“The future of Protestant churches in America lies in reaching new people with the offer of salvation through Jesus Christ.”
“Most growth in the U.S. happens in new communities.”
“Church planting is vital to share the gospel in these new communities as well as communities in which the population is changing or previous churches have closed.”
Standing firm in faith and investing in the next generation offers hope in a time of change.
It inspires us to maintain commitment to Christian principles and community.

- Sir Brian Souter, founder of Stagecoach, attributes his business integrity to daily Christian living.
- He observes a shift from institutionalized faith to a more vibrant, Christ-focused Christianity in Britain.
- Souter warns against further decriminalization of abortion and urges investment in palliative care rather than assisted suicide.
Sir Brian Souter, a prominent Christian businessman, believes that Britain’s secular drift is producing a deeper and more authentic faith, especially among young believers.
He maintains that openly modeling Christ in the workplace shaped company culture and gave true meaning to leadership.
“What I’ve tried to do is … live out my faith day by day.”
He said.
He sees the decline of institutionalized Christianity as beneficial, pointing to the growth of charismatic and independent churches as signs of spiritual renewal.
“We forgot that our best asset is our role model and our unique selling proposition is our redeemer because that’s where the dynamism and the power in Christianity comes from… I think we’re seeing a rebirth of real Christianity, you know, really Christ focused.”
Souter notes a rise in church attendance and Bible engagement among young men.
He sees this, alongside a rejection of secular ideologies, as evidence of a longing for moral clarity and lasting hope.
He sharply criticizes attempts to expand abortion access, describing them as moral overreaches that threaten the sanctity of life.
Additionally, Souter urges a focus on quality end-of-life care and warns that legalizing assisted suicide undermines ethical medical practice.
Quoting Psalm 139, he affirms:
“Life is sacred. It is special. It is significant. It is ordained by God.”
Despite cultural challenges, Souter encourages believers to courageously share their faith in public arenas, trusting in the transforming power of Christ’s name.
He remains committed to initiatives that unite Christians and enable them to serve society boldly.
Stand strong for faith and freedom by living out biblical values in every sphere, influencing our nation for Christ’s glory.
