The Biden administration slapped Grand Canyon University with a massive $37.7 million fine, claiming the Christian school lied to students about doctoral program costs. But the Trump administration just wiped that penalty away, exposing what many see as political attacks on faith-based education.
GCU President Brian Mueller fought back hard, saying the accusations were flat-out false. He called it a clear case of government overreach targeting a university that proudly stands for Christian values. The Department of Education under Biden claimed GCU broke federal law, but they couldn’t prove a single violation when challenged.
This wasn’t the first time DC bureaucrats came after GCU. The school’s been battling Washington for years over its nonprofit status, another sign of hostility toward institutions that don’t toe the liberal line. The Trump administration’s Education Department made it clear – no more weaponizing federal agencies against schools because of their religious beliefs.
The original fine was pure punishment politics. Biden’s team accused GCU of “harming students” and “breaking trust,” but offered zero evidence. Now the record shows the truth – GCU followed every rule and treated students fairly. The Biden administration tried to bully a Christian university into silence, and failed.
This victory for GCU is a win for all religious institutions tired of being targets. While liberals push radical agendas in schools, places like GCU keep teaching traditional values. The Education Department’s reversal proves conservative policies protect religious freedom from leftist activists.
The timing says it all. Biden’s regulators waited until election season to drop this hammer, trying to score political points. But common sense prevailed. The Trump administration stopped this abuse of power, showing real leadership that puts Americans first, not partisan games.
What happened to GCU should scare every parent and student. If they’ll come after a major Christian university, they’ll come after any school that challenges woke ideologies. This case proves conservative leaders must stay vigilant against the left’s education takeover.
The bottom line? The Biden administration’s failed attack on GCU backfired. Faithful Americans saw through the smears. Now GCU keeps educating students with integrity – and the radical left’s playbook got exposed for all to see.
