The Biden administration's Department of Education is looking to eliminate a Trump-era rule aimed at protecting religious organizations at colleges and universities.
Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan argued that Gov. Ron DeSantis, R-Fla., and his education bills are examples of "authoritarian" big government on "Meet the Press."on Tuesday proposed to eliminate a rule that requires officials to withdraw federal support for colleges and universities that restrict the activities of religious organizations on campus, calling it ineffective and"unduly burdensome.
"The Department today issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking proposing to rescind a portion of the regulation related to religious student organizations because the Department believes it is not necessary in order to protect the First Amendment right to free speech and free exercise of religion given existing legal protections," Assistant Secretary for Postsecondary Education Nassar Paydar said in a post on the department’s website.
At the same time, Paydar said religious organizations on campus should already have enough protection from rules requiring IHEs to respect First Amendment rights to free speech.
