The Biden administration’s Education Department hit Grand Canyon University with a massive $37.7 million fine – a record-breaking punishment against the Christian school. But after years of legal battles, the federal government just dropped the charges entirely. This looks like a clear case of Washington bureaucrats targeting a faith-based institution for standing up to woke ideology.
GCU President Brian Mueller fought back hard, calling the fine “retaliation” for refusing to bow to government overreach. The school’s crime? Transitioning to nonprofit status years ago – a move approved by every other agency, including the IRS. Only Biden’s Education Department treated it like a scandal, unleashing five separate investigations that drained millions from the university’s resources.
This attack on religious freedom started under Biden but ended with a new administration defending America’s values. A Department of Education spokesperson now admits past leadership “persecuted” colleges for their beliefs. The reversal exposes how the previous regime weaponized federal power against conservative ideals wrapped in faith.
Grand Canyon University serves over 100,000 students – many first-generation learners and military veterans. While coastal elites push radical agendas in classrooms, GCU focuses on affordable education grounded in Christian principles. That didn’t stop Biden’s team from trying to bankrupt them with absurd fines.
The dismissal “with prejudice” means this bogus case can’t be revived. It’s a total vindication for GCU and a warning to deep state activists: targeting people of faith has consequences. Parents and students are sick of universities pushing leftist indoctrination – that’s why schools like GCU are thriving.
Mueller’s message to Christian institutions? “Don’t back down.” While the radical left controls media and academia, real Americans are building alternatives. This victory proves persistence beats persecution. When government bullies come knocking, stand your ground.
The Education Department’s sudden reversal smells like election-year panic. With 2024’s red wave fresh in memory, bureaucrats are scrambling to hide their anti-religion bias. But the damage is done – millions saw Biden’s administration punish a school just for being Christian.
This saga should outrage every patriot. GCU fought the swamp and won, but how many smaller schools get crushed by Uncle Sam’s boot? It’s time to dismantle the education deep state and protect institutions that honor God, country, and common sense.
