The decision made late Friday night by the Bayan Claremont graduate school’s board to turn down the money — an amount that would cover more than half its yearly budget — capped weeks of sleepless nights and debate. Many there felt Trump’s rhetoric singling out Islamic extremism and his travel ban affecting predominantly Muslim countries had gone too far.
It also made the school the fourth organization nationwide under the Trump administration to reject the money for a program created under President Barack Obama known as countering violent extremism, or CVE, which officials say aims to thwart extremist groups’ abilities to recruit would-be terrorists.

They still don't get it.
There are 50+ countries that are predominantly Muslim by population. The TEMPORARY (90 day) ban on only seven (7) countries, those countries identified as being the sources of terrorists responsible for unwarranted bloodshed around the World, including the U.S., serves to fully vet proposed immigrants and travelers who are potential risks to the safety and welfare of the United States and its people.
Why is a private school getting this much money from the government. Are Christian schools also receiving funding from the government?
Trump is the best.
I think they are scared of the local terrorists they know are among them.
They probably never planned to combat violent extremism.
