Report Reveals Bias Against Christian Colleges

President-elect Donald Trump has reiterated his commitment to abolish the U.S. Department of Education, a promise he made during his previous campaign and one shared by past leaders like Ronald Reagan. However, experts warn that dismantling the department faces significant challenges, particularly the need for bipartisan congressional approval, which is unlikely given the current political landscape. A report by the American Principles Project highlights perceived bias in the Department's enforcement actions, particularly against Christian colleges, which have faced disproportionate penalties compared to secular institutions. For instance, Grand Canyon University was fined $37.7 million for misleading students, while larger universities received far lesser fines for serious misconduct. Experts suggest that while Trump may pursue strategies to downsize the department or shift its responsibilities, outright abolition would be difficult due to legislative hurdles. Overall, the feasibility of Trump's education reform agenda remains in question amidst these challenges.
