Tony Perkins, a staunch conservative and president of the Family Research Council, is in the news again. Now it’s not strange that Tony Perkins finds himself in the news, he’s known for saying some outlandish things that gets him the headlines. This time is no different.
In his program, Parkins spoke about the Department of Education’s investigation of 55 schools and universities that mishandled sexual assault cases. Perkins somehow made the connection that this investigation will lead to more condoms in schools, thus “tyranny.”
Speaking on his “Washington Watch” program, Perkins lamented “the sexualization that is taking place in our culture in general but on college campuses.”
“Contraception is made available as if it were candy which sends a message, well it’s there, it must be there for a reason, and then we’re surprised when — this is not justification, it’s wrong, we are all responsible for our actions — but we’re surprised when people act on these outside factors that they are surrounded by,” Perkins said. “It leads to tyranny.”
