Tucker Carlson, however, has a different take. (Is that a shock?) He can’t believe that when teachers acknowledge the existence of LGBTQ+ people, gender roles, and similar topics that may come up in a sex-ed class (or just in the normal course of existence), dads aren’t showing up at the schools to pound on educators.

Carlson is hardly the first conservative to pretend that inclusion and education endanger, rather than protect, children.
Still, most do not go so far as to actually call for violence against teachers for doing their jobs, so Carlson has managed to stand out again for taking the extreme position.
