WALSH: First Karen Pence, Then The Covington Students. The Left Has Declared War On Christian Schools.

Matt Walsh

The Left spent much of last week attacking Karen Pence because she got a job at a Christian school that follows Christian teaching. By the end of the week, #ExposeChristianSchools was trending on Twitter. Then, on Saturday, a false narrative was quickly constructed claiming that a group of students from a Catholic school harassed and taunted a Native American man. I do not think that these events came together coincidentally.

As I wrote last week, we have officially entered a new phase in the culture war. Gone are the days when leftists pretended to see religion as a thing that should be relegated to homes and churches and private schools. That very small amount of extremely limited and qualified “tolerance” is gone. They will not tolerate Christianity in any forum, especially a private school. Check the hashtag mentioned above. It is filled with open, unapologetic hatred for Christian schools as an institution. And remember: the campaign was trending before the Convington incident, which happened to fit nicely into the pre-established narrative. Convenient, isn’t it?
