(RedState) When Turning Point USA Frontlines reporter Kalen D’Almeida caught up with Arizona State University professor David Boyles last week to ask him some questions about sponsoring Phoenix’s Drag Queen Story Hour and his “creative writing” series that’s really a book about a 17-year-old boy being groomed by a much-older woman at the behest of his high school counselor, Boyles wasn’t too happy about it. In fact, Boyles assaulted D’Almeida’s cameraman, leading D’Almeida to defend the cameraman. Boyles got the worst of it, though; since he was wearing a skirt and heels, when D’Almeida pushed him away from the cameraman, he fell to the ground and scratched his face.

Of course, Boyles ran to the police and claimed D’Almeida assaulted him, and now D’Almeida’s being investigated for a “hate crime,” even though both TPUSA’s camera and ASU security video confirm D’Almeida’s version of events. Curiously, though TPUSA representatives tell RedState the group requested security video through official channels immediately after its reporter was attacked, local mainstream outlets in Phoenix had the footage before TPUSA did.
EXPOSED: ASU Professor David Boyles deleted his “creative writing” series about a 17-year-old boy who doesn’t fit in at school. In the series Professor Boyles describes how “Isaac” is befriended, taken in, and GROOMED by a “queer mom,” after he’s forced to leave his Christian… pic.twitter.com/ArFbv0C84c

TPUSA Frontlines has publicized Boyles’ beliefs on “gender, sexuality, and the involvement of children in the LGBT movement,” which are of public concern given the professor’s position at a publicly-funded school and the subject he teaches.
In addition, Boyles has written an explicit “creative writing” series that was featured on his Substack, which has now been deleted. The series has the same protagonist as his novel, “Life is a Banquet.” From the Amazon description of the book:
From reading just the sample available on the Amazon page, it’s clear that Boyles has deep animosity toward the Christian communities in the Phoenix area and believes children raised in these families are brainwashed and repressed, and need drugs and sex to open their eyes. Between what’s on his social media pages, questioning him publicly about his beliefs – and giving him a chance to make his case – is fair.
But ASU President Michael Crow isn’t a big fan of free speech or open debate of ideas. Ann Atkinson was fired by Crow earlier this year after hosting a “Health, Wealth & Happiness” event with Charlie Kirk and Dennis Prager on campus, which led to an investigation by state legislators for free speech violations. Since legislators control the purse strings at ASU, Crow isn’t a big fan of TPUSA either. After that event, some students who attended reported that they were accused by faculty of being “white supremacists.”
ASU students reported being accused by some of the Barrett Honors College faculty of being white supremacists for choosing to attend a speaker program on Health, Wealth & Happiness with @charliekirk11 @DennisPrager and @theRealKiyosaki. Where was President Crow then? https://t.co/T7LmzaFFCh

Silence from Crow.
Pro-Hamas agitators were on campus last week denigrating Jewish students, and ASU President Michael Crow was again silent. But, as Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk pointed out, Crow worked over the weekend to send an official email smearing TPUSA and ignoring the fact that his own employee was the aggressor.
Kirk issued a statement on Twitter/X, including the security footage that backs up what TPUSA cameras caught.
