Washington Free Beacon reporter Elizabeth Harrington appeared Tuesday on Fox Business to discuss her story on the Environmental Protection Agency giving $30,000 to a church that preaches about "white privilege."
Harrington reported The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Boca Raton, Florida, received an "environmental justice grant" for education and training about sea level rise and climate change:
The grant is to provide "Replicable and Scalable Community Climate Resilience Building in Two Communities in Palm Beach County, Florida."
"EPA’s environmental justice grants help communities across the country understand and address exposure to multiple environmental harms and risks at the local level," said Matthew Tejada, the director of the Office of Environmental Justice.
"Addressing the impacts of climate change is a priority for EPA and the projects supported by this year’s grants will help communities prepare for and build resilience to localized climate impacts."
The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Boca Raton is a "liberal religious community" that currently offers classes on "Being White," and holds town meetings on Black Lives Matter.
"The interesting thing about this so-called church is their most recent teachings are all about white privilege and how America is structurally racist and the reverend is leading the congregation on what they call white privilege walks to reflect on how racist even they think their own congregation is," Harrington said.
"The EPA says it's not an endorsement of any of their teachings ... It's kind of curious why the government would trust them of all people and not scientists about climate change."
Harrington and host Stuart Varney also discussed the latest bit of political correction run amok in North America: the University of Ottawa cancelling a free yoga class because some complained it was "cultural appropriation."
"We've gotten to the point where you can't do anything anymore, right?" Harrington asked.
"What is culturally oppressive or insensitive about yoga?" Varney asked.
"Nobody knows," Harrington said. "Some students complained that, oh, we're taking this spiritual yoga from India and now we're taking it to Canada, and somehow it's a problem. I have no idea. You've gotten to a point where the basic impulse of the university is we're going to shut down the class."
People will find anything to be offended by, she said.
