The commentator and talk show host claimed that 'trans' issues are a major point of contention in US politics

Dennis Prager has accused Joe Biden of "playing Russian roulette" with children's education, slamming the spread of "woke" ideas.

He hit out at the promotion of trans ideology in schools, claiming it is "damaging education systems" and is promoting the "destruction of childhood".


The US commentator and talk show host said that "trans issues" are among the things voters in America are most opposed to in the Biden administration.

He said: "A lot of Americans are awakening to the fact that the left is not just wrong, it's evil.

"It's the destruction of childhood. It is intentional."

Asked if he thinks the US President is "pandering" to trans campaigners, he agreed, saying: "I think it's damaging education systems.

It's already damaged If you send your in most cases, if you send your child to an American school, elementary, high school or college, you are, as I have said for 40 years of broadcasting, playing Russian roulette with their values.

"But now the gun in Russian roulette doesn't have one bullet. It has three or four bullets.

"The chances that your child will be hurt in an American school are quite high."

Trans campaigners believe teenagers and children suffering from gender dysphoria need to be supported in schools in order to prevent mental health issues.

In a statement to mark the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, President Biden said: "Everyone is entitled to be treated with dignity and equality—no matter whom they love, or how they identify.

"On the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, we reaffirm our commitment to this ongoing work and stand with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI+) people around the world."

He added: "More than 60 countries still criminalise homosexuality and some are considering even more draconian anti-LGBTQI+ legislation. Some governments continue to classify LGBTQI+ individuals as having a medical disorder or permit the use of so-called 'conversion therapy'—a dangerous and discredited practice that blatantly violates human rights and causes significant harm, including high rates of suicide-related thoughts and behaviours among LGBTQI+ youth.

LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:

"And right here at home, violent attacks on LGBTQI+ individuals and community spaces have risen dramatically, and more than 600 hateful laws have been introduced this year targeting the LGBTQI+ community, particularly youth."

The other issue that Prager believes is most important to American voters is the economy, but he added: "Most Americans don't understand that their inflation is due almost entirely not to the war in Ukraine. That's a lie.

"It is due overwhelmingly to green policies of of of raising energy prices which therefore raise all prices just as one example."
