PGC – A 1943 Supreme Court Ruling, West Virginia v Barnette, could undo the whole effort by the DNC to indoctrinate the youth of our land to accept a very specific moral construct, the doctrine of race-based, disenfranchised-based critical thinking that begins with an assumption that generation wrongs must be righted by diminishment of the classes that are part of those generational wrongs.
This type of thinking is antithetical to the spirit of many moral constructs across these lands, including forms of Chrisitanity, Islam, Buddhism, and even non-deistic belief systems like Stoicism or Objevtivism.
Nevermind which might be the one true moral construct, the point is that we live in a pluralistic land of moralities, most all of which can find socio-cultural harmony through the standards of the Bill of Rights. When our public education system, an extension of government, chooses to use its power to influence our children to indoctrinate it into a very specific moral frame, then it no longer represents a republican government, it represents a tyrannical one. Apparently, in 1943, our Supreme Court agreed with me.
Supreme Court precedent opposes Critical Race Theory in public schools

Excerpt:
By 1962, most schools had a small ceremony to start the day that included the Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer. There were prayers at the beginning of football and basketball games, beseeching good sportsmanship; invocations and benedictions at graduation exercises, encouraging students to succeed and be happy; and separate baccalaureate services, imploring the Almighty to bless these particular persons.
A small group decided to challenge these traditions for violating the Establishment Clause in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. Soon, Supreme Court decisions concluding that these references coerced students into accepting certain notions ending most invocations to a higher power in public school.
The Court in the post-1960s era relied heavily on an earlier case, West Virginia v. Barnette (1943), that said:
If there is any fixed star in our constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.
So, we have come full circle: Even though the Supreme Court majority once banned as coercion – public entities prescribing orthodox thought and forcing citizens to “act their faith herein” — a minority of leftists are relentlessly advancing their ideology in public schools in the form of Critical Race Theory
