Tucker Carlson suggests that teaching kids about gender identities, sexual orientations is a sex crime

Tucker Carlson told his viewers Monday night that “children are being used as props in sexual fantasies of adults” as he went on a 17-minute rant against the teaching of LGBTQ issues to children.

The conservative television host dedicated part of the opening monologue of his primetime news show, “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” to showing clips of educators sharing their experiences when discussing gender identity and sexual orientation with their students.

“I have had multiple students come out to me, not just with their sexuality, but also with their gender identity,” one teacher said in a video shared on social media. ”It’s one of the reasons I think it’s so important to be out and loud and proud,” she added.

“I teach my elementary schools about gender identity,” another teacher said in a different video. “Some people are girls, some people are boys, some are both, some are neither.”

The Fox News personality then went on to compare those teachers to people who approach children on the street to talk about sex.

“If you were walking through the park with your kids and a stranger came up and started talking to them, say to your fifth grader, your 5-year-old, even your 14-year-old about sex, what would you do?” he asked his viewers.

“Well, you would call the police, of course. That’s not allowed, it’s a crime because they are children,” he added. “But teachers are allowed to do it and then to brag about it.”

Carlson also showed a few clips of kid-friendly drag performances, which he called “sexual fantasies playing out in public.” He then said that people should not be “allowed to bring children into your sexual fantasies because that’s a species of child molestation.”

He added, “You can be fully clothed when it happens. It doesn’t make it any less abusive or any less immoral.”

The prime-time news host — who once suggested that the Walt Disney Company supported the “chemical castration” of children — then appeared to suggest violence against some LGBTQ people or those who teach kids about LGBTQ issues.

“No parent should put up with this for one second, no matter what the law says. Your moral duty is to defend your children,” he said. “This is an attack on your children and you should fight back.”
