Barr rails against 'militantly secularist' public schools in 1st speech since leaving Justice Department
Fox News
Former Attorney General Bill Barr, in his first speech since leaving the Justice Department, railed against what he called the "secular progressive orthodoxy through government-run schools," and questioned the constitutionality of funding such public institutions, during an event in Florida on Thursday.
Barr said public schools have become totally incompatible with traditional Christianity and other major religions in the U.S., and therefore, "it may no longer be fair, practical or even constitutional to provide publicly funded education solely through the vehicle of state-funded schools." He made the remarks at the Council for National Policy’s annual gathering, where he was receiving an award from the Alliance Defending Freedom. The former attorney general also pointed to an Iowa school's week of Black Lives Matter curricula, a plan that had forced the school on defense, saying the goal was to "promote focusing on our Black students."More Related News
