Former Attorney General Bill Barr criticized the U.S. public school system during his first speech since leaving the Justice Department, calling the current system in the inner cities racist because of what he described as low-quality, secular, progressive teachings that are pushed throughout the schools.
“The real issue of systemic racism in our country, which is our public school system in the inner cities, where we’ve relegated inner-city school children to these failing schools, depriving them of a future, depriving them of opportunity,” Barr said during a speech in Naples, Florida, on Thursday. “That’s the system of systemic racism.”
