Fox News talking head Laura Ingraham reported on a Breitbart article claiming children are being groomed to be LGBTQ+ in schools.
While it was a departure from her usual White nationalist and White supremacist propaganda, it was as misinformed and misleading as always.
You can see her conservative homophobic and transphobic rhetoric filled segment here:

Her own brother ripped on the piece calling his sister a "monster" while tagging her show's Twitter account.
Holding absolutely nothing back, the Fox pundit's brother Curtis—who is openly gay—said of the segment:
"This is rich coming from my Putin-loving sister who seems okay with children being killed in Ukraine."
"Looks like she has a new trope in hand to further rile and anger her followers."
"What a monster!"
This is rich coming from my Putin-loving sister who seems okay with children being killed in Ukraine. Looks like she has a new trope in hand to further rile and anger her followers. What a monster! @IngrahamAnglehttps://twitter.com/ingrahamangle/status/1512122036889522178\u00a0\u2026— Curtis Ingraham (@Curtis Ingraham) 1649773128
The story demonized acknowledging the existence of any gender identity or sexuality other than cisgender heterosexual with students.
Ingraham kicked off her homophobic piece by calling the left "obsessed" with incorporating sexuality and gender identity into children's education.
Playing clips of different educators discussing their curriculums and how they introduce these concepts to students at different ages, Ingraham said:
"How dare they? What on Earth?"
"Thanks to Brightbart, by the way for publishing this."
"Why are these people so invested in pushing these concepts on children of any age?"
She continued:
"What's happening in our schools is sexual influence pedaling."
"If you want to protect your kids, you have to get up to speed on what your kids are being subjected to at school."
"Marinating our kids in lessons on gender inclusivity and sexual expression, it's not gonna help them succeed in this ever-competitive world we live in."
As if the piece couldn't be any more troubling, at the end of the segment, the Fox host invited parents to reach out to what's called the "Ingraham Angle Parent Portal" and share their stories, saying "be sure to include the school district, the city and the state."
Her brother was quick to call her out.
He said:
"My sister has the credibility of a tabloid."
"Spins like this reveal her deep-seated anger, desperation and complete ignorance of what is actually going on in education today."

Curtis Ingraham has rebuked his sister in the past.
In fact, he has made a point to consistently call out her bigotry and cruelty.
Pinned on his Twitter account is the following message:
"Clearly my sister’s paycheck is more important than the world her three adopted kids will inherit."
"I can no longer apologize for a sibling who I no longer recognize."
"I can and will continue to call out the monstrous behavior and the bully commentary born out of anger."

"Dear Curtis, I am so sorry that your own sister is belittling children who knew from birth they were amazing and special, I am furthermore incensed by the fact she doesn't know how amazing her own brother is!"
"She & people like her are why I don't have my own brother today!"

Why doesn't she just move in with putin? I think they'd make a fab couple.— Mary Harte (@Mary Harte) 1649872525
Where did it come from? How do you explain who she is?— Raef (@Raef) 1646947071
Another person wondered:
"Was she bullied on the playground?"
"Why does she have so much hatred?"

30 years ago, in middle school, we were taught sex education, and the class was mandatory. We had to learn about each other\u2019s body parts, what to do with them, etc. I wish they would\u2019ve gone more into actual sexuality.— GeeZeeCakes \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf7 (@GeeZeeCakes \ud83c\uddf5\ud83c\uddf7) 1647028661
The hate from her is intense. Who hurt her for her to become like this? Or is it all about money?— Justin (@Justin) 1649773597

Many are wondering how the siblings are even related.
Despite her brother being a member of the LGBTQ+ community, Ingraham continues to push oppressive agendas and inflammatory rhetoric.
