00:12.747 --> 00:15.175
THEY WANT THEIR CHILDREN TO BE

00:15.186 --> 00:20.062
GIVEN THE RIGHT TO OPT OUT.

FOX NEWS THIS ISN’T ABOUT

00:31.748 --> 00:32.083
POLITICS.

00:32.094 --> 00:34.610
BUT RATHER, THE DESIRE FOR THEIR

00:34.611 --> 00:38.122
KIDS TO HAVE A QUALITY EDUCATION

00:38.133 --> 00:39.448
AND FREEDOM OF RELIGION.

00:39.483 --> 00:40.867
FORMER WHITE HOUSE PRESS

00:40.878 --> 00:41.889
SECRETARY APPARENTLY HAS A

00:41.890 --> 00:43.174
DIFFERENT TAKE.

00:43.185 --> 00:45.037
SHE CLAIMS REPUBLICANS ARE

00:45.048 --> 00:46.571
RECRUITING MUSLIM AMERICANS

00:46.582 --> 00:48.209
AGAINST TRANSGENDER PEOPLE.

00:48.220 --> 00:50.279
>> PITTING ONE GROUP OF

00:50.290 --> 00:51.909
AMERICANS AGAINST ANOTHER, THE

00:51.944 --> 00:53.027
G.O.P. SUCCESSFULLY MANAGED TO

00:53.038 --> 00:55.847
SPLIT OFF SOUTHERN WHITES FROM

00:55.848 --> 00:56.962
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

00:56.963 --> 01:00.006
NOW, DECADES LATER, THE RIGHT

01:00.041 --> 01:01.747
WING IS REVIVING THAT SAME

01:01.758 --> 01:02.330
PLAYBOOK.

01:02.364 --> 01:04.021
THIS TIME WITH MUSLIM AMERICANS

01:04.032 --> 01:05.512
AND TRANS PEOPLE.

01:05.513 --> 01:07.583
HEAR ME OUT HERE.

01:07.617 --> 01:09.947
THE G.O.P. IS TRYING TO RECRUIT

01:09.958 --> 01:11.530
MUSLIM AMERICANS, A COMMUNITY

01:11.531 --> 01:13.992
THAT MAKES UP LESS THAN 2% OF

01:14.003 --> 01:15.719
THE U.S. POPULATION AGAINST

01:15.753 --> 01:16.776
ANOTHER TINY MARGINALIZED GROUP

01:16.787 --> 01:19.294
OF AMERICANS.

01:19.328 --> 01:20.586
TRANSGENDER PEOPLE.

01:20.597 --> 01:22.746
>> Kayleigh: IT’S ALL A

01:22.757 --> 01:24.924
REPUBLICAN PLOY, AIR IF I GOT

01:24.959 --> 01:26.057
THAT RIGHT.

01:26.068 --> 01:28.512
I THOUGHT WE SHOULD HEAR

01:28.546 --> 01:30.451
DIRECTLY FROM MUSLIM LEADERS.

01:30.462 --> 01:32.150
THE DIRECTOR OF ISLAM AND

01:32.152 --> 01:33.547
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM ACTION TEAM

01:33.582 --> 01:35.467
SAYS THE LEFT WANTS TO SCARE

01:35.469 --> 01:36.411
MUSLIMS INTO ACCEPTING ITS

01:36.422 --> 01:37.430
INDOCTRINATION OF OUR CHILDREN

01:37.441 --> 01:39.869
IN EXCHANGE FOR A SMILE AND PAT

01:39.880 --> 01:42.520
ON THE HEAD.

01:42.531 --> 01:44.704
THEY INSULT MUSLIMS BY CAN’T

01:44.715 --> 01:46.176
IMAGINE THAT WE WAIVE THE

01:46.187 --> 01:47.763
BARGAIN THEY OFFERED AND

01:47.764 --> 01:49.900
REJECTED IT AND THEN THE HEAD OF

01:49.935 --> 01:51.121
CARE, EDWARD MITCHELL, INSTEAD

01:51.132 --> 01:52.186
OF ADDRESSING THE SUBSTANCE OF

01:52.220 --> 01:53.562
THE CONCERNS THESE FAMILIES HAVE

01:53.573 --> 01:55.802
RAISED ABOUT WHAT’S HAPPENING IN

01:55.803 --> 01:57.359
PUBLIC SCHOOLS, THE LIKES OF

01:57.370 --> 01:59.070
MSNBC PAINT THESE PARENTS AS

01:59.071 --> 02:00.798
DUPES BEING USED BY THE

02:00.809 --> 02:01.315
POLITICAL RIGHT.

02:01.316 --> 02:02.656
DIRECTLY FROM MUSLIM FAITH

02:02.657 --> 02:03.290
LEADERS.

02:03.291 --> 02:04.976
>> EXACTLY.

02:04.987 --> 02:07.458
AND THE LEFT IS ALL ABOUT

02:07.469 --> 02:08.761
PROJECTION, SO IT’S WHATEVER

02:08.795 --> 02:10.623
THEY THINK THAT THE OTHER SIDE

02:10.634 --> 02:11.662
IS DOING, THEY’RE PROBABLY DOING

02:11.664 --> 02:12.104
THEMSELVES.

02:12.115 --> 02:14.106
THIS IS COMING FROM THE FORMER

02:14.141 --> 02:16.235
PRESS SECRETARY FROM ONE OF THE

02:16.246 --> 02:17.650
MOST DIVISIVE ADMINISTRATIONS.

02:17.661 --> 02:20.582
AT LEAST IN MY LIFETIME.

02:20.583 --> 02:23.110
I THINK THAT’S PRETTY RICH.

02:23.111 --> 02:27.993
BUT I ALSO ASKED JEN PSAKI TO

02:28.004 --> 02:31.539
LOOK AT THE ARMENIANS CLASHING

02:31.540 --> 02:33.084
IN CALIFORNIA, THEY’RE NOT

02:33.095 --> 02:33.538
MUSLIM.

02:33.549 --> 02:35.206
SIMPLY TRADITIONAL PARENTS WHO

02:35.207 --> 02:37.139
WANT TO BRING THEIR KIDS UP IN

02:37.141 --> 02:38.506
MORE TRADITIONAL HOMES AND

02:38.507 --> 02:40.511
OBJECT OF THEM BEING SEXUALIZED

02:40.522 --> 02:44.298
IN THE CURRICULUM AND OBJECT TO

02:44.309 --> 02:47.034
THE PREDATIONS OF SOME OF THESE

02:47.068 --> 02:48.736
TEACHERS THAT ON TIKTOK HAVE

02:48.737 --> 02:49.767
EXPOSED ON THEIR ACCOUNT AS

02:49.769 --> 02:50.319
WELL.

02:50.320 --> 02:51.990
I THINK THIS IS PEOPLE REALLY

02:52.001 --> 02:53.982
LOOKING AT THE EVIDENCE OF THEIR

02:54.016 --> 02:55.537
EYES AND THEIR EARS.

02:55.538 --> 02:57.331
THEY ARE NOT PAWNS IN THIS

02:57.333 --> 02:59.113
DIVISIVE GAME THAT FRANKLY, THE

02:59.114 --> 03:00.385
LEFT IS VERY GOOD AT PLAYING.

03:00.386 --> 03:02.984
>> Kayleigh: ALL THEY’RE ASKING

03:02.995 --> 03:05.814
FOR IS OPT OUT OF THE CURRICULUM

03:05.815 --> 03:08.297
AND LET THEIR CHILDREN BEING

03:08.298 --> 03:09.948
EXCUSED FROM TEACHINGS THEY

03:09.949 --> 03:11.523
DON’T WANT THEM EXPOSED TO AT AN

03:11.534 --> 03:11.992
EARLY AGE.

03:12.026 --> 03:14.106
I DON’T GET HOW THIS IS A

03:14.117 --> 03:15.451
MADE-UP MOVE WHEN THIS HAPPENED

03:15.462 --> 03:16.320
IN MARYLAND.

03:16.331 --> 03:18.858
MUSLIMS ARE GOING TO CANADA TO

03:18.892 --> 03:20.059
GET THEM ON BOARD!

03:20.061 --> 03:21.540
>> THIS IS IN OUR BACKYARD

03:21.551 --> 03:23.151
LIVING IN WASHINGTON, D.C. IN

03:23.185 --> 03:23.713
MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

03:23.714 --> 03:24.909
LISTEN, I THINK THERE NEEDS TO

03:24.910 --> 03:26.312
BE A BALANCE WITH ANYTHING IN

03:26.323 --> 03:27.388
REGARDS TO CURRICULUM.

03:27.422 --> 03:28.827
THERE’S AN IMPORTANT ROLE THAT

03:28.838 --> 03:30.193
SCHOOLS PLAY WITH TEACHING AGE

03:30.204 --> 03:31.511
APPROPRIATE SEXUAL HEALTH,

03:31.522 --> 03:32.577
GENDER IDENTITY, SEXUAL

03:32.612 --> 03:33.506
ORIENTATION, HIGH SCHOOLS WHEN

03:33.517 --> 03:35.156
KIDS -- WHEN IT’S APPROPRIATE

03:35.190 --> 03:35.672
FOR CHILDREN.

03:35.673 --> 03:37.035
BUT I THINK ONE OF THE OTHER

03:37.036 --> 03:38.526
THINGS TO COME UNIQUELY OUT OF

03:38.537 --> 03:39.609
THE PANDEMIC IS THE RISE OF

03:39.643 --> 03:40.305
THESE PARENTS.

03:40.316 --> 03:42.405
AND THEY CERTAINLY HAVE A VOICE.

03:42.407 --> 03:44.499
AND I’M A DEMOCRAT ON THIS COUCH

03:44.510 --> 03:45.465
SAYING PARENTS CERTAINLY HAVE A

03:45.466 --> 03:45.891
VOICE.

03:45.902 --> 03:48.549
AND THERE SHOULD BE A PROCESS BY

03:48.560 --> 03:50.776
WHICH PEOPLE CAN OPT OUT FROM

03:50.811 --> 03:52.256
CURRICULUM THAT THEY FIND SUPER

03:52.257 --> 03:53.057
OBJECTIONABLE TO THEIR RELIGIOUS

03:53.068 --> 03:53.356
BELIEFS.

03:53.358 --> 03:56.429
AND I THINK WE’VE GOT TO STRIKE

03:56.440 --> 03:57.691
A BALANCE WITHOUT THESE PROTESTS

03:57.702 --> 03:58.718
AND WITHOUT ANYONE GETTING

03:58.752 --> 04:01.163
HARMED BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE

04:01.174 --> 04:02.682
DAY, KIDS HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO

04:02.717 --> 04:03.952
FIRST RATE EDUCATION AND GREAT

04:03.953 --> 04:04.678
SCHOOL DISTRICT IN MONTGOMERY

04:04.689 --> 04:05.127
COUNTY.

04:05.138 --> 04:07.938
IT NEEDS TO BE AGE APPROPRIATE

04:07.949 --> 04:09.650
WITH THAT CURRICULUM.

04:09.661 --> 04:11.367
>> IT SHOULD, THE DEMONIZATIONS

04:11.378 --> 04:13.117
WILL BACKFIRE.

04:13.151 --> 04:14.945
SHE APOLOGIZED FOR THESE

04:14.946 --> 04:16.557
COMMENTS BUT BRING THEM TO YOU

04:16.559 --> 04:17.015
NONETHELESS.

04:17.016 --> 04:18.886
>> THIS ISSUE HAS UNFORTUNATELY

04:18.887 --> 04:21.615
PUT -- IT DOES PUT SOME, NOT

04:21.626 --> 04:24.747
ALL, OF COURSE, BUT SOME MUSLIM

04:24.748 --> 04:30.161
FAMILIES ON THE SAME SIDE OF AN

04:30.172 --> 04:34.805
ISSUE AS WHITE SUPREMACISTS AND

04:34.816 --> 04:35.836
OUTRIGHT BIGOTS.

04:35.838 --> 04:37.426
HOWEVER, THE FOLKS WHO I’VE

04:37.461 --> 04:39.208
TALKED HERE TODAY, I WOULD NOT

04:39.209 --> 04:42.207
PUT IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS

04:42.218 --> 04:42.978
THOSE FOLKS.

04:42.989 --> 04:44.218
ALTHOUGH, YOU KNOW, IT’S AGAIN

04:44.252 --> 04:44.976
COMPLICATED BECAUSE THEY’RE

04:44.977 --> 04:47.662
FALLING ON THE SAME SIDE OF THIS

04:47.673 --> 04:48.422
PARTICULAR ISSUE.

04:48.456 --> 04:51.136
>> Kayleigh: SHE APOLOGIZED BUT

04:51.147 --> 04:54.533
PUTTING MUSLIMS ON THE SIDE OF

04:54.567 --> 04:55.849
WHITE SUPREMACISTS.

04:55.850 --> 04:57.268
REMEMBER, HILL PUT THE

04:57.269 --> 04:58.035
ASIAN-AMERICANS AS CARRYING

04:58.046 --> 04:58.856
WATER FOR THEM.

04:58.857 --> 05:01.424
>> IT STARTED WITH WOMEN THAT WE

05:01.435 --> 05:02.465
VOTE REPUBLICAN OR CONSERVATIVE

05:02.467 --> 05:03.760
BECAUSE OUR HUSBANDS TOLD US TO

05:03.794 --> 05:05.282
AND THEN REMEMBER "THE NEW YORK

05:05.293 --> 05:07.356
TIMES" TALKED ABOUT THE RISE OF

05:07.357 --> 05:08.816
THE WHITE NATIONALISTS HISPANIC.

05:08.827 --> 05:10.534
YESTERDAY, WE HAVE JAMEL HILL

05:10.535 --> 05:12.624
ATTACKING ASIAN-AMERICANS AND

05:12.635 --> 05:14.712
NOW, OF COURSE, THE MUSLIMS

05:14.713 --> 05:15.991
COMMUNITY IS BEING ATTACKED IN

05:16.025 --> 05:16.498
MARYLAND.

05:16.499 --> 05:18.281
SO IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT ETHNIC

05:18.292 --> 05:19.312
MINORITY GROUP YOU ARE.

05:19.346 --> 05:20.332
WHAT GENDER YOU ARE.

05:20.343 --> 05:21.929
YOU’RE GOING TO GET ATTACKED IF

05:21.930 --> 05:22.835
YOU ALIGN WITH CONSERVATIVE

05:22.846 --> 05:23.140
POLICIES.

05:23.151 --> 05:24.346
SO, YOU KNOW, WELCOME.

05:24.357 --> 05:26.472
YOU SHOULD GET USED TO IT.

05:26.506 --> 05:28.090
ALSO, KAYLEIGH, IF WE AS A

05:28.101 --> 05:29.936
REPUBLICAN PARTY WERE ACTUALLY

05:29.947 --> 05:32.252
THAT GOOD AT MASTER MANIPULATION

05:32.287 --> 05:33.861
OF EVERYBODY, WE WOULD BE MORE

05:33.872 --> 05:34.286
RACIST.

05:34.297 --> 05:36.261
I MEAN, WE’RE -- THEY’RE GIVING

05:36.295 --> 05:37.643
US A LITTLE BIT MORE CREDIT THAN

05:37.654 --> 05:38.419
I THINK WE DESERVE.

05:38.430 --> 05:39.490
THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS IS A

05:39.525 --> 05:40.309
FREE COUNTRY.

05:40.320 --> 05:42.534
AND THAT THERE’S A LOT OF WOMEN

05:42.545 --> 05:43.879
WHO VOTE CONSERVATIVE, NOT

05:43.914 --> 05:45.143
BECAUSE THEIR HUSBAND TELLS THEM

05:45.145 --> 05:46.448
TO BUT THAT’S HOW THEY WANT

05:46.449 --> 05:47.854
THEIR CHILDREN TO BELIEVE.

05:47.856 --> 05:49.632
AND SO THERE’S A LOT OF PEOPLE

05:49.643 --> 05:52.976
WHO HAVE VERY CONSERVATIVE

05:52.987 --> 05:54.759
RELIGIOUS BELIEFS IN THIS

05:54.770 --> 05:55.258
COUNTRY.

05:55.259 --> 05:56.322
NOT JUST CHRISTIANS.

05:56.333 --> 05:57.606
IT MEANS THEY BELIEVE IN

05:57.640 --> 05:58.242
TRADITIONAL VALUES.

05:58.243 --> 05:59.789
WELCOME TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

05:59.791 --> 06:01.173
>> KAYLEIGH, LOOK, WE CAN

06:01.174 --> 06:02.234
DISAGREE ON POLITICS AND THAT’S

06:02.245 --> 06:03.414
FINE AS ADULTS.

06:03.425 --> 06:05.052
WE CAN AGREE ON HOW TO PARENT

06:05.053 --> 06:05.372
CHILDREN.

06:05.383 --> 06:07.093
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THE

06:07.094 --> 06:08.530
PANDEMIC EXPOSED WAS WHAT WAS

06:08.531 --> 06:09.381
HAPPENING IN CLASSROOMS ACROSS

06:09.392 --> 06:10.091
THIS COUNTRY.

06:10.125 --> 06:11.422
WHAT WAS BEING TAUGHT OR NOT

06:11.433 --> 06:11.974
TAUGHT.

06:12.009 --> 06:14.716
AND IF YOU LOOK NOW AT SOME OF

06:14.727 --> 06:16.128
THE SCORES IN PARTICULAR AND SAY

06:16.129 --> 06:17.430
IT’S LIKE NEW YORK, THESE

06:17.465 --> 06:18.590
CHILDREN ARE VERY, VERY BEHIND

06:18.601 --> 06:19.856
BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF TEACHING.

06:19.857 --> 06:21.154
I’M NOT BEATING UP ON TEACHERS.

06:21.165 --> 06:22.748
I’M NOT BEATING UP ON PARENTS.

06:22.759 --> 06:24.991
I’M JUST SAYING THAT THIS IS A

06:24.992 --> 06:26.292
CONVERSATION THAT SHOULD NOT BE

06:26.303 --> 06:27.866
POLITICIZED, SHAME ON JEN PSAKI

06:27.900 --> 06:28.970
FOR POLITICIZING SOMETHING THAT

06:28.981 --> 06:30.310
IS NOT AT THE END OF THE DAY

06:30.345 --> 06:30.562
POLITICAL.

06:30.573 --> 06:31.330
IT’S ABOUT THESE KIDS.

06:31.341 --> 06:32.404
>> Kayleigh: ABSOLUTELY.

06:32.415 --> 06:34.372
AND IT’S HINDU, CHRISTIAN,

06:34.383 --> 06:35.747
JEWISH, ARMENIAN, MUSLIM, THESE

06:35.781 --> 06:37.000
AREN’T SINGLE ISSUE VOTERS BUT
