You parents are "barbarically lunatic". And QAnon conspirators!----------NYT columnist slams ‘crazies’ in fight over ‘when to teach sexuality to schoolkids’ as ‘barbarically lunatic’

NYT columnist slams ‘crazies’ in fight over ‘when to teach sexuality to schoolkids’ as ‘barbarically lunatic’ link
"Friday's PBS Newshour linked parents and lawmakers concerned about young children being taught about gender and sexuality in public schools to Qanon "crazies," warning they are "barbarically lunatic" and "dehumanizing" their political opponents, which "can lead to more violence."
Host Amna Nawaz asked New York Times columnist David Brooks and MSNBC host and Washington Post columnist Jonathan Capehart about a PBS interview with a Michigan Democrat state senator who went viral for a recent speech pushing back at Republicans who had accused her of "grooming" and "sexualizing" children. 
In the interview, the state senator said, "[Republicans are] pulling this language from QAnon conspiracies."
...He then started connecting parents concerned about indoctrination in schools to conspiracy theorists: "I'd say there's two things happening here. 
One is the crazies, Pizzagate, grooming, all that stuff.
That — we can't say it's fringe, but I can at least say it's crazy.
It's lunatic. 
And it's not only lunatic. It's cruelly lunatic, and it's barbarically lunatic."..."
