The Biden family is dealing with an increasing number of issues, and it appears like Florida’s governor wants to make matters worse.
In an effort to defend freedom in higher education, Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida, filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration on Thursday.

The DeSantis administration just announced legal action against the Department of Education under President Joe Biden.
“I will not allow Joe Biden’s Department of Education to defund America’s #1 higher education system all because we refuse to bow to unaccountable accreditors who think they should run Florida’s public universities,” DeSantis said in the release.
The lawsuit makes clear the Biden administration’s endorsement of private accrediting organizations as the sole arbitrators of which higher education institutions are eligible for federal financing from the Department of Education.
Schools must be accredited by a private accreditor in order to obtain government money. This is necessary for schools to uphold quality standards and obtain funding.
Concerns were voiced by Florida regarding the selection of gatekeepers and the apparent lack of openness present.
“Nonetheless, in higher education, Congress has ceded unchecked power to private accrediting agencies to dictate education standards to colleges and universities, and it has forbidden the U.S. Department of Education (the Department) from meaningfully reviewing, approving, or rejecting those standards,” the complaint reads.
“Throughout my time in office, I have prioritized bringing transparency and accountability to higher education, as well as reorienting the mission of our colleges and universities away from spreading divisive ideologies and back toward the pursuit of truth and the success of our students, DeSantis continued.

“The Biden administration’s attempts to block these reforms is an abuse of federal power, and with this lawsuit, we will ensure that Florida’s pursuit of educational excellence will continue.”
Ashley Moody, the attorney general of Florida, joins the governor.
“For too long, private academic accreditors have been holding our colleges and universities hostage,” Moody said in the release. “Thanks to the fearless leadership of Governor DeSantis, we are fighting to take back our public postsecondary education system from unelected private organizations that have no accountability or oversight.”
Given his background, it is not surprising that DeSantis supports openness and independence in education, therefore the likelihood of a lawsuit is also not surprising.
Hunter Biden, the president’s son, is being investigated for two tax offenses as he deals with the continuing DeSantis case. Right-wing critics are alarmed that Hunter received a light sentence in his recent plea deal; they view this as evidence of a biased and unfair justice system.
Biden also has to deal with the House’s impeachment procedures regarding the problem at the southern border of the country.
The biggest challenge for this historically unpopular president is his planned campaign for reelection in 2024, despite any probable legal problems.
