Justices Ask Whether Left’s Wokeness Should Be the Only Religion Allowed in Public Schools
The high court seems poised to welcome more religion in public life, including public schools. The question several justices posed is, why should religion be singled out for disfavored treatment, compared to other ideas?
Over the past 60 years, public schools have been scrubbed of religion, stripped bare in the name of the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution, which bars favoring one religion over others. Now the void is being filled by social justice ideology, the left’s religion by another name.
Why should traditional religion be discriminated against, while teachers and coaches are allowed to proselytize their woke belief system, displaying Gay Pride symbols and Black Lives Matter slogans in the classroom? Are children any less at risk of coercion or indoctrination by these ideas presented by authority figures whom they’re eager to please?
