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.

- The Living in Love and Faith consultation concluded without delivering clear answers on marriage and sexuality.
- New prayers for same-sex couples have deepened division in the Church of England, sparking disagreements about doctrine.
- Elections for General Synod approach amid heightened factionalism and concerns for unity within Christ’s body.
The Church of England’s lengthy attempt to resolve questions about sexuality and marriage has ended, leaving believers more divided and uncertain. Leaders admit the process lacked clarity and unity, despite years of debate.
Many faithful Anglicans are troubled by the introduction of prayers for same-sex couples, which some clergy warn may signal a change in doctrine. The resulting confusion has unsettled parishes, driven some clergy to leave, and discouraged new vocations as uncertainty persists.
“If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all” (Romans 12:18).
Traditional and evangelical believers have found common ground defending biblical teaching, while widespread frustration remains over how discussions were conducted. The transition to new leadership under Dame Sarah Mullally brings hopes for healing, but the wounds from this struggle remain raw.
Faithful Christians are called to pray for truth, unity, and leadership firmly rooted in God’s design for marriage and the guidance of Scripture. Stand for biblical teachings and support those working to restore faith and freedom in Christ’s church.
