Civics-based homeschooling can protect religious freedom and combat anti-American curriculum, that’s according to former U.S. Solicitor General Ken Starr, author of Religious Liberty in Crisis: Exercising Your Faith in an Age of Uncertainty.

Starr told Alex Marlow, host of Breitbart News Daily“There has been a collapse of civic education in the United States. We and my generation have allowed the collapse. Shame on us.”

Responding to the suggestion that certain ideologies can gain power when the public is uninformed, Starr replied, “I live in Texas, we’ve allowed a collapse of civic education. We’ve got to now do something better. I am personally involved — but everyone needs to be involved — in how we restore civic education.”

Starr called his book – Religious Liberty in Crisis – an asset for those seeking to learn about the American principle of religious liberty. The book will further help readers “carry out intelligent conversations” through which they can persuade others to protect First Amendment protection of freedom of religion.

Starr described his book as timely given various lockdown and shutdown degrees — ostensibly issued by authorities to protect public health — targeting churches, synagogues, and other religious institutions and events.
