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.

- Telegraph column claims Christian leaders like Justin Welby should pray instead of seeking therapy.
- Priest Fr Mark Edwards, enduring depression, defends medication as God-given healthcare.
- Biblical figures Elijah, David, and Job faced despair yet upheld unwavering faith.
A recent Telegraph piece by Celia Walden questioned why former Archbishop Justin Welby pursues therapy rather than solely confiding in God.
Fr Mark Edwards, a clergyman recovering from severe mental health crisis, deems this perspective wrong and harmful to pastoral care.
What’s the point of God if even Justin Welby is seeing a therapist?
Edwards stresses therapy and antidepressants complement prayer, rejecting any notion of faith failure.
He notes never advising cancer patients to skip chemotherapy for prayer alone, questioning mental health double standards.
I have never told someone with cancer to refuse chemotherapy and “just pray.” Why is mental health treated differently?
Welby’s resignation stemmed from Church safeguarding failures, unrelated to his beneficial psychiatric support.
Faith sustains through suffering; Scripture unflinchingly depicts prophets’ anguish without invalidating devotion.
Public shaming risks silencing strugglers, endangering lives when medicine upholds God’s gift of healing.

Trump’s America First Global Health Strategy cut USAID dependency, redirecting aid through direct government partnerships that honor stewardship and local ownership.
Dr. Chris Wekesa Barasa of CHAK noted, “For the last 20 years… we started talking about transition of HIV funding and global aid to developing countries. But I think we never took it seriously.”
He added, “It made us go back to the drawing board and start thinking, oh, it’s actually possible that we don’t have money.”
Karen Sichali-Sichinga of CHAZ highlighted Zambia’s model: “For us, right from the beginning… the policy was that health centers were free.”
She affirmed government support: “If they’re going to deploy health workers and pay their salary to mission hospital, really, I mean, that is commendable.”
Sichinga warned, “The health system in Zambia consists of the government, the private sector, the faith sector and traditional healers.”
Barasa celebrated efficiencies: “We actually realized that we were having cost efficiencies.”
Faith networks prove essential in rural areas, delivering proven care rooted in Christian compassion amid declining foreign aid.
Embrace biblical self-reliance, pray for these providers upholding life and family values globally, and champion policies restoring national sovereignty.
