Arizona State University police say they are investigating an
incident in which a queer faculty member was confronted and injured
on the school's campus.
An official with the conservative group Turning Point USA said late
Thursday night that two of their "crew members" were involved in the
altercation.
The incident occurred Wednesday afternoon in Tempe, according to
police spokesperson Adam Wolfe.
Wolfe said security footage shows two people — a "reporter" and a
"cameraman," according to Turning Point USA — followed David Boyles,
a writing instructor in ASU's English Department, while filming him.
Turning Point USA did not name the two people following an inquiry
by The Arizona Republic about their identities.
In a statement on social media, Turning Point USA identified the
people as affiliates of FRONTLINES, an online show the group
produces. The show recently launched a "Child Safety Unit" that
"takes aim at hunting down predators for preying and grooming
minors," according to an announcement emailed to people on the
group's mailing list last month.
Accusing LGBTQ+ people of pedophilia and "grooming" young people to
be victims of sexual abuse has reemerged in recent years as a common
political attack by far-right extremists.
Boyles wrote in an Instagram post that Wednesday's incident happened
immediately after he finished teaching a class on LGBTQ+ youth in
pop culture and politics. The two people began yelling at him about
Drag Story Hour Arizona, he said. Drag Story Hour Arizona is an
organization he co-founded in 2019 that aims to bring "inclusive
story times" to children and support diversity in early literacy,
according to its website.
