Domenech On Bill Barr: Critical Race Theory Is Schools Pushing Religion – The Federalist

Federalist Publisher Ben Domenech said on Fox News Thursday the obsession with race in K-12 education threatens to undermine the constitutional ban on government favoring one religion over another, warranting school choice as a constitutional right.

Domenechs comments came after former Attorney General Bill Barr critiqued President Barack Obamas opposition to school choice programs to keep inner-city children locked in failing institutions while the White House children attended private school.

The real issue of systemic racism is our public school system in the inner cities, Barr said.

One of the things that really comes out in this speech, Domenech said, where Barr demanded school choice as a constitutional right given public schools entrenchment of far-left indoctrination, was him branding this new woke religion as such that it threatens the Establishment Clause in essentially creating a religious document, a religious set of rules that are being propagated at taxpayer expense.

The leftist theology infecting K-12 classrooms nationwide, Domenech said, possesses nearly all the elements of a religion.

They have sins, they have indulgences, they have demands, and guilt put on you, but they dont have grace, and they dont have forgiveness, Domenech said. Thats something that I think we all should come to appreciate as being at the center of Americas culture war today.
