The Trump administration is using the Trojan Horse, “religious liberty”, to again justify attacking GLBT Americans, this time with the Betsy DeVos led Department of Education proposing a new rule that would force public universities to give the same money to religious organizations that they give to secular ones, or lose all their federal funding.

A group of students could form a non-academic club based on topics like creationism or an earth-centric belief about the solar system, and would be as equally eligible for money as a science club which is related to the curriculum has been, or the school wouldn’t get any more scientific research grants.

Presently, public universities can choose not to support a student group that bans GLBT students from holding leadership positions, but under the proposed rules, universities that refuse to fund anti-GLBT groups like these could lose all of their federal funding.

Trump wants us to believe this is protecting religious freedom.    

Allow discrimination, or no money for you.
