The Biden administration slapped Grand Canyon University with a crushing $37.7 million fine – the largest in Education Department history. They claimed the Christian school lied to students about doctoral program costs. But now the feds have admitted they got it wrong. The case collapsed because there was zero proof of wrongdoing.
This wasn’t about protecting students. It was a political hit job on a faith-based institution. GCU President Brian Mueller fought back hard, calling out the government’s witch hunt. He pointed to similar attacks on Liberty University – another Christian college targeted by Biden’s bureaucrats. The pattern is clear: leftist DC elites hate religious education.
The Education Department folded like a cheap suit. They dismissed the case “with prejudice,” meaning they can’t come back for round two. Even Biden’s own appointees couldn’t find evidence to support their bogus claims. This total surrender proves the charges were fake from the start.
For years, GCU battled the feds over its nonprofit status. Biden’s team kept harassing them with red tape and false accusations. They wanted to make an example of a successful Christian university. But truth won out. The school’s transparency and student success records blew holes in the administration’s weak case.
The real scandal is how Biden weaponized government against people of faith. His education cops went after GCU while letting woke indoctrination camps run wild. Christian schools get fined. Radical leftist colleges get federal handouts. This double standard stinks to high heaven.
Thankfully, common sense prevailed. The Trump-era Education Department spokespeople rightly called out the previous administration’s persecution. They vowed to stop using regulators as attack dogs against religious institutions. This is how government should work – fair treatment for all, not partisan vendettas.
GCU’s victory is a win for every patriot who values religious freedom. It shows even deep-state bullies can be beaten when good folks stand their ground. The school’s leaders never backed down from their Christian mission. They exposed the lies and saved their reputation.
This case should scare every American. If Biden’s bureaucrats will target a major university, imagine what they’ll do to smaller churches and schools. We must stay vigilant. The left will keep trying to silence people of faith – but with courage and truth, we can fight back and win.
