Here's the terrible new way Trump plans to illegally harass universities

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

It’s been a minute since the Trump administration threatened Columbia University by pretending it cares deeply about antisemitism. So just in case the school started to believe its past concessions protect it from future attacks, the Department of Education launched a new salvo on Wednesday.

The Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights announced that it notified the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the accreditor for Columbia, that the school is in violation of federal anti-discrimination laws.

Therefore, according to the office—which used to actually investigate real civil rights issues before becoming a vehicle for President Donald Trump’s culture war efforts—Columbia no longer meets the standards for accreditation because it violated the law based on its treatment of Jewish students.

The threat comes after it was determined on May 22 that Columbia “acted with deliberate indifference towards the harassment of Jewish students, thereby violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.”

The guy who referred to the Nazis at Charlottesville as "very fine people"

1. It is disgusting that he is using defending Jews as his excuse. Note to Columbia, never give in to a bully

They bowed to his pressure before. You have to fight back every single time. A bully never stops when you give in. I don't know why anyone thinks trump will leave them alone if they go along with what he wants. When will they learn??

Furthermore, how would robbing said Jewish students of graduating from an accredited school help them? I hope no Jewish person is falling for it.

2. Obviously this is completely fake fascist bullshit from Trump he doesn't GAF about antisemitism

However, since I see that particular accusation made extremely regularly, and I really feel like there's no need for anything but actual facts for our side to make all our arguments allow me to humbly post:

No, Trump Did Not Call Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists 'Very Fine People'
