Add religious persecution to the stain of political lawfare and double standards Joe Biden’s presidency will leave behind.
As our taxpayer-funded universities became Jihadist boot camps and churned out aspiring Islamic terrorists for over a year, the Biden administration was too busy waging war on what they clearly believed to be a more dangerous threat: Christian institutions who refuse to transform their schools into woke re-education centers.
While Christian institutions and career colleges make up less than 10 percent of America’s schools, a recent report conducted by the American Principles Project (APP) reveals they made up nearly 70 percent of the institutions penalized by the Department of Education’s Office of Enforcement. Biden’s administration established the office in 2021 as a place where people can easily rat out their schools for allegedly violating the Higher Education Act. But the APP suggests they used their enormous pot of government funding, which has recently increased “by nearly 600 percent,” to “shut down colleges and universities that don’t align with the Administration’s woke agenda.”
This includes disenfranchising “two of the nation’s most prominent Christian universities” by fining Grand Canyon University for $37.7 million and Liberty University for $14 million. The Department of Education also unsuccessfully tried to prevent Grand Canyon University from becoming a non-profit institution in a recent legal battle that was ultimately won by the school.
But the Biden administration has used other intimidation tactics listed by the APP, including “harrass[ing] schools operating in good faith with scrutinize-and-fine investigation,” and “cut[ting] off or threaten[ing] colleges’ and universities’ access to Title IV funding," the APP found. …

Again...the federal government needs to stay out of education period. No federal funds, no laws, nothing. It’s a state issue.
There are plenty of queer orgs that are more than happy to recruit students to play the victim at these schools and make up ‘horror stories’ describing what they went through.
Here’s one: https://www.campuspride.org/worstlist/
Yes, they even have a doxxing page to rat out the “worst” Christian colleges, most based simply on the fact that they received a Title IX exemption from the DOE.
Well DUH!....Biden, Obama, Soros and the democRATS are working on behalf of Satan in America....and they want our kids to follow who????? /sarc
I’m just surprised it was not more than 70%...
The Federal government has no business providing backing for loans for College either. The fact that such student loans can be used for anything, not just tuition, room and board, is ridiculous.
Democrats love talking about how the rich should pay their “fair share”. How about refusing to provide any loans to colleges with an endowment above a certain amount or percentage, etc.? Let their own endowment funds provide the loans. That way if the students don’t get an education that provides a job at the end, the university will be out the money, not the taxpayers.
Under a “republican form of government” per the Guarantee Clause, education is not a “state issue” either.
By the constitution, a republican form of government is guaranteed to every state in the Union, and the distinguishing feature of that form is the right of the people to choose their own officers for governmental administration, and pass their own laws in virtue of the legislative power reposed in representative bodies, whose legitimate acts may be said to be those of the people themselves . . .
Education is a State and local responsibility in the United States. It is States and communities, as well as public and private organizations of all kinds, that establish schools and colleges, develop curricula, and determine requirements for enrollment and graduation.
The US Government works for the Devil thru the IC that controls the rest.
Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture—education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.Just outlining the slippery slope. Education should be in the private sector as much as it can be, and it can be.

Free education for all children in public schools. Abolition of children’s factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc. etc.

They don’t realize it but they are better off by NOT getting fed $.
You’re entitled to your opinion.
States can easily say.. education is not a state funded problem but the citizens decide.
No, because that’s democracy and not republicanism. And such a thing would prove Woodrow Wilson’s assertion that socialism and democracy are “one and the same”, in addition.
It’s not a matter of opinion. You either have republicanism or you do not.
We disagree. In a pure democracy, majority rules.. the majority is not restrained in this way and can impose its will on the minority.
In a republic, a constitution or charter of rights protects certain inalienable rights that cannot be taken away by the government, even if it has been elected by a majority of voters.

We elect our government, we elect them to govern and legislate but they must protect our rights guaranteed us by the Constitution. That is not socialism or democracy where you have no rights.
