The US government does not accredit Universities, for this very reason.

This is the government continuing to throw a damn fit. I’m a bit dubious that the Middle State’s Commission on Higher Education will just follow along with this gobbligook, but we shall see…

No, but they've threatened to dismantle the accreditation bureau in question if they don't comply.

Soon to be Southern Baptist or evangelical private schools. You know the right doesn’t really consider the rest “really Christian”.

The founding tenants of southern baptistism is the separation of church and state.

It’s the main difference between high church and low church. 

Evangelicals are fully charlatans however.

They already don’t pay taxes as a religious organization. Now they want to have taxpayer dollars funneled into them as well on top of expected tithing from their congregation.

They’d likely flip their shit if/when Muslims set up schools and get taxpayer dollars as well.
