BIll Barr Says Radical Indoctrination of Students May Be Illegal

(RightWing.org) – Former US Attorney General Bill Barr has warned that “militantly secularist” public schools threaten religious freedom and indoctrinate students in disastrous, unconstitutional ways. Let that sink in for a moment.

In a May 21 speech to the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF), Barr – who had just received the organization’s annual prize for religious liberty – discussed the threat of Critical Race Theory in US classrooms. This theory, which has escaped from far-left universities in the last few years to infect much of American society, is now being taught in many public schools, and it’s undoing all the progress achieved by the civil rights movement.

Barr criticized how the government is tightening its grip on education and called for school vouchers to give parents a choice. He also called out some universities for persecuting religious groups, arguing it’s a violation of First Amendment rights. He says addressing the state of the nation’s schools and the indoctrination of students is “one of the most urgent tasks” we face. With Critical Race Theory spreading like a plague, it’s hard to disagree.
