70% of Biden Education Enforcement Targeted Christian and Career Colleges

According to a Fox News Report, 70% of enforcement-based actions taken by the Biden regime’s education department targeted religious and career schools.

“According to a press release published by the American Principles Project (APP), they drew on newly obtained data finding that nearly 70 percent of the Department of Education’s (ED) enforcement actions dealt with faith-based and career schools, even though those schools represent less than 10 percent of students in the US.”

“APP Policy Director Jon Schweppe said the Democrats have been “busy weaponizing every part of the federal government to target their opponents” for the past four years.”

“While major assaults from agencies like the have taken most of the headlines, we should not ignore similarly corrupt efforts in other agencies as well,” Schweppe stated.

If this weaponization of the Department of Education wasn’t enough, it gets worse.

“The APP notes that two of the nation’s most prominent Christian universities, Grand Canyon University (GCU) and Liberty University, were subject to scrutiny by the ED. Both of these institutions faced record-level fines worth significantly more than “all penalties imposed over the past seven years combined,” including fines imposed on Penn State ($2.4 million) and Michigan State ($4.5 million) relating to Jerry Sandusky and Larry Nassar’s respective sexual crimes.”

This unfair treatment of religious schools is unAmerican and unacceptable.

According to that Fox News report, “The report from APP said further that at “least 12 colleges have been the target of excessive penalties or banned from receiving federal student aid; by comparison, no Ivy League school has been the recipient of punitive action by the Office of Enforcement.”

“The average fine against a Christian school for a Clery Act violation was $815,000, compared to $228,571 against public and private institutions,” it said. This is outrageous and a violation of religious liberty.

We look forward to an end to these unfair practices and a return to Religious freedom in the Trump era.

The Trump administration has vowed to overhaul the Department of Education. This means that, hopefully, the focus will return to education and move away from liberal indoctrination.
