Tucker Carlson: Left is waging a war on biology

Fox News host Tucker Carlson suggested over the weekend that schools with transgender bathroom polices were undermining what children were learning about biology in science class.

Last week, the Fairfax County School Board in Virginia voted to add gender identity to its non-discrimination policy.

According to Carlson, this caused “outrage” because it would allow “a student who is male but identifies as a female” to use the girl’s bathroom.

Carlson argued that it was hypocritical for schools to teach science while not forcing transgender students to use the bathroom that corresponded to their biology.

“Isn’t a little weird that that a school which is supposed to be rooted in science and the scientific method is teaching now that there is that there is no difference between men and women and you can change your sex?” he wondered. “Of course, that’s contrary to basic biology.”

“The left’s war on biology continues,” the Fox News host lamented. “It’s a weird moment in America.”

I'm not inclined to take biology-education advice from someone who associates with people who think Darwin was Satan incarnate, and who believe the planet is only 6000 years old.
Nice try tho, Carlson (and I see what you tried to do there).
