Instructor says he was 'slammed to pavement' by a member of video crew firing questions at him. TPUSA says instructor assaulted videographer.
ASU President said the confrontation is 'the kind of outrageous conduct that you would expect to see from bullies in a high school cafeteria.'TEMPE, Ariz. — One day after video was released of an alleged attack on a queer instructor who was confronted by a video crew with the right-wing group Turning Point USA on ASU's Tempe campus, the university's president is responding.
"Cowards that they are and so confident in the legality and appropriateness of their actions, the Turning Point USA “reporter” and “cameraman” then ran away from the scene before police arrived," Crow's letter continued."This is the kind of outrageous conduct that you would expect to see from bullies in a high school cafeteria."
Crow also said that even though Turning Point USA has been part of and even hosted events at ASU, the University"will do all that we can to end the bullying and intimidation of our faculty members by Turning Point USA and to reduce threats against the members of the ASU community which arise from such actions."
In a post on his Facebook page, Boyles said he was leaving his"LGBTQ+ youth in pop culture and politics" class when he was accosted by the TPUSA crew. "One filmed on his phone while the other shouted horrible and incendiary things at me, repeating standard right-wing nonsense about Drag Story Hour and also accusing me personally of pedophilia and hating America," Boyles' post says.
Back in April, at the University of Arizona campus in Tucson, D'Almeida initiated a similar confrontation with a professor who does work on queer and transgender studies.After media reports Friday about the confrontation, ASU released this statement:
