Father, we pray for reform in our colleges and universities. Reform our higher-education system in a way that honors You.

As universities side with terrorists over Jews, many are saying that higher education has finally gone too far. Is there change on the horizon?

From New York Post. Higher education may have finally crossed the line.

Do you want state prayer alerts?

 

With the horrific massacre, rapes and infant murders and kidnappings Hamas proudly perpetrated in Israel, much of the American academic community, especially at elite universities, sided with … Hamas. …

Harvard has been the most talked-about example. …

Dozens of Harvard student groups released a remarkably callous statement saying Israel’s government is “entirely responsible” for Hamas’ violence. …

The Harvard students have since deleted their statement, though it still lives on the Internet, of course.

They deleted it because many major firms announced they won’t hire anyone on the list. Some have even asked for membership lists of the student organizations involved so they can make sure not to hire any students who belong. …

This was followed by Harvard’s Kennedy School losing billionaire philanthropist Idan Ofer and his wife Batia from its board. …

Billionaire alumnus Bill Ackman, a hedge-fund founder, slammed Harvard too and was joined by a number of his fellow CEOs. …

And it’s not just Harvard: Ackman also called out another Ivy League institution, the University of Pennsylvania.

And at the University of Michigan, a business professor smirkingly posed for photos as he tore down posters with names and photos of people Hamas took hostage, while a Cornell diversity and inclusion officer came under fire for social-media posts celebrating the Hamas attack as “resistance.”

Similar events took place at the University of Virginia, Stanford, George Washington University, Swarthmore and a host of other elite schools. …

Famed historian Victor Davis Hanson observed: “Americans knew higher education practiced racist admission policies. It has long promoted racially segregated dorms and graduations. And de facto it has destroyed the First Amendment. But the overt support for Hamas killers by the diversity, equity, and inclusion crowd on a lot of campuses exposes to Americans the real moral and intellectual rot in higher education.” …

We’ve long known higher education breeds a lot of silly — and sometimes dangerous — ideas. …

But this is too much.

In much the same way George Floyd’s death sparked a nationwide movement to change policing, the moral blindness of our alleged betters in elite universities is finally producing meaningful blowback and calls for fundamental change.

That’s good. It’s time — past time — to change this increasingly toxic industry.

Father, I too pray for reform in our schools/universities. May they have a heart for the things that please you and a pure hatred for the things that displease you. Please touch their hearts via dreams and sending laborers across their paths that will show them the love of Christ. I ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Lord God Almighty, the higher education system has become completely ridiculous through lies coming from professors and government costs. It’s turned evil for years. Please 🙏 help the young adults with all this mental chaos! Only you can save them and bring hope to them!

I have prayed the Lord will reveal each and every person who supports terrorism and what has begun with the Ofers and Bill Ackman will spread like wildfire! May these deluded “students” be refused the positions, they believe they deserve. May the words of the esteemed professors come back to haunt them as they realize true resistance. May these “hallowed halls” be empty.

Job 4:8 In my experience, those who plow injustice and those who sow trouble reap the same.
Galatians 6:7 Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.

Dear Lord, I stand in agreement with the folks on here. I ask that you would move on donors and legislators to remove funding from schools who do not want you in their knowledge and have been turned over to a reprobate mind. I ask that you expose and remove the wicked from our government at every level and remove government from education financing at any level . I pray for parents to teach their children wise financial stewardship again. In Jesus name, amen.

Heavenly Father, You are the Highest Teacher, there is none greater than You. Thank You for providing the Bible, Your precious word of truth. Jeremiah 7:24 But they did not obey or incline their ear, but walked in their own counsels and the stubbornness of their evil hearts, and went backward and not forward. LORD, we have many institutions for higher-education but many have lost their way. We have strayed from what they were originally created for, please forgive us. They have taught lies to our children, directed them away from Your word and even encouraged them to disregard their parents. By Your Spirit, take Your position as highest authority in every willing school at every level. Appoint Your true teachers who follow Your ways. Establish leadership not based on dollars or title, but instead on character and integrity. Close the doors of deceptive speech and ways, grow the schools who uphold Your will and Your way. For Your namesake bring forth objective teaching founded in principles of You. In Jesus’ mighty name. Amen.

I pray along with the many(two or more) an effective prayer; the tearing down of the stronghold, the deststruction of the forces of darkness in all segments of the enducation system, the complete removal of all support, promotion and implementation of socialist programs that
undermine the moral base of this country that take up space where solid education programs
need to me that have been eliminated, in the name of Jesus. Amen

Higher education has long ago crossed the line of decency. They influence and undermine the faith of young impressionable freshman by intimidating family values and faith. Our next generation leaders are trusted to college life and the liberal professors that hide behind the slogan of “teach them how to think” belittle people of morality and faith so to crush their spirits.
The leaders higher education turn out are for the most part, amoral, spiritually shipwrecked and blinded by a political progressiveness that has led to this outrageous culture we are forced to live in.

Oh, it is way, way past time! Reason itself should have determined this a long time ago. Please defund every unrighteous institution, LORD. Our nation has been funding our own demise by supporting many institutions of higher education (although I question the term ‘higher’), which in reality have been spreading the lies and propaganda of the enemy. Please bless those schools and universities dedicated to Godly education, and may their students be used mightily by You as they fulfill their Godly destinies.

Lord, we’ve been asking You to dry up the funds of those opposed to certain things. This is one of them. Thank You. May the loss of funding continue for those entities who oppose Your ways. Amen.
