The "religious" right was born from school integration.
Not abortion. Not anything else, but good old fashioned racism.
They latched on to the other issues in order to support their racist agenda.
So here we are and trump is slated to talk about the executive order on police reform.
This order disgusts him. It further disgusts the base.
So, as he often does, he upends with a wink to the racist base by declaring school choice the civil rights issue of our time.

Partly. I think their fear of "those people" in the same schools is the bigger issue for them

The christofascists would consign the "other" to ignorance and indoctrination. All the easier to control and exploit.

Segregated school choice?
Separate was not equal. That is code for "We are not going to fund Public Schools."
Trump is parroting Betsy DeVos.
