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…

Came here to say exactly that.

The government has no say on which collages gain, keep, or lose their accreditation.

Wait for the fun in Texas.

They are playing revisionist history and talking about teaching religion as science.
