found the biden administration's first attempt at loan forgiveness unconstitutional, the department of education announced this final rule to allow majority of bachelors degree student loan borrowers to avoid paying back even the principal on their loans. this rule does not offer genuine debt forgiveness. instead it shifts the weight of $559 billion in state of the union loans onto the shoulders of almost 90% of americans who don't have those student loans. this includes individuals who may earn significantly less than those who took out the loans in the first place. rather than addressing the root causes of the student loan debt crisis, the administration would rather transfer the financial burden onto taxpayers. exacerbating our ongoing issues with inflation and contributing further to our staggering $33 trillion of national debt. this approach is not only flawed but fundamentally unfair to those who oned not to attend college, who diligently paid their own way through school or who have already successfully paid off their own student loans. this is what the white house is pushing. and by the

just this week, the department of education updated their section 117f.a.q.'s. this was their first update to these f.a.q.'s since taking office three years ago and it was undoubtedly a result of pressure from our work on the education and work force committee in passing the deterrent act. because of the biden administration's failure on section 117, upan alone took $14 million in unnamed contributors in china and hong kong and $2.4 million in unnamed contributors from saudi arabia since 2021. these amounts are well over the threshold of concern and are reasons alone to pass the deterrent act. back home in indiana, our own valparaiso university was home to a confucius institute. these institutes are funded and arranged by the peoples republic of china and have raised concerns about improper influence over teaching, espionage, and undermining taiwan in their relationship with the united states. the indiana attorney general investigated this confucius institute and though it's now been closed, the need for oversight remains. i'm proud to be an original supporter of

the department of education must investigate the school for the discriminatory practices and their leaders must be held accountable. the last thing our country needs now is for those in a position of power to go after students and punish them, not even for what they did before, but what their parents did. it's disgusting and piper sheepish and of itself. and now florida's chapter of the council on the american islamic relations as held a conference on this issue, you took part in that event. what, what's the web, the key takeaways from the meeting? well, they've done an incredible job care floor to the counseling because some places florida is one of the largest civil rights organizations in the country. they're at the forefront of defending, just as for all americans. and they've actually already went ahead to file complaints of department of education and several other accrediting at agencies to demand investigation. they're providing tremendous support for the school and, and as the spokes organization for the american muslim community, they're sending a powerful message that we will no

the cut is devastating and what i would remind everyone is the office of civil rights and department of education is not only focused on anti-semitism. it focuses on all forms of hate and i tried to find this information but was unable to do so. i would guess the majority of complaints are not coming from jewish jews, i would guess the majority of the complaints are coming from people of color and from others who have faced terrible bias. it is unconscionable to make that cut. >> talk is cheap. budgets are what really i think show the true willingness to act in situations like this. i would like to quote by mentioning in connecticut a young transfer student, international student from the west bank, a sophomore at trinity college who is a math major visiting friends in burlington, vermont were going bowling and this coward came out of his house with a firearm at point-blank range and shot all three students who were going to a relatives house at the time. it shows again the civil rights effort of the department of justice which also is being subjected to a potential cut needs to get full funding
