   Arizona State University police say they are investigating an   
   incident in which a queer faculty member was confronted and injured   
   on the school's campus.   
      
   An official with the conservative group Turning Point USA said late   
   Thursday night that two of their "crew members" were involved in the   
   altercation.   
      
   The incident occurred Wednesday afternoon in Tempe, according to   
   police spokesperson Adam Wolfe.   
      
   Wolfe said security footage shows two people — a "reporter" and a   
   "cameraman," according to Turning Point USA — followed David Boyles,   
   a writing instructor in ASU's English Department, while filming him.   
   Turning Point USA did not name the two people following an inquiry   
   by The Arizona Republic about their identities.   
      
   In a statement on social media, Turning Point USA identified the   
   people as affiliates of FRONTLINES, an online show the group   
   produces. The show recently launched a "Child Safety Unit" that   
   "takes aim at hunting down predators for preying and grooming   
   minors," according to an announcement emailed to people on the   
   group's mailing list last month.   
      
   Accusing LGBTQ+ people of pedophilia and "grooming" young people to   
   be victims of sexual abuse has reemerged in recent years as a common   
   political attack by far-right extremists.   
      
   Boyles wrote in an Instagram post that Wednesday's incident happened   
   immediately after he finished teaching a class on LGBTQ+ youth in   
   pop culture and politics. The two people began yelling at him about   
   Drag Story Hour Arizona, he said. Drag Story Hour Arizona is an   
   organization he co-founded in 2019 that aims to bring "inclusive   
   story times" to children and support diversity in early literacy,   
   according to its website.
