Tucker Carlson claimed he was banned from speaking at his high school alma mater because the government thought he was “too dangerous” and that “people could get killed.”
A video of Carlson talking to a group of students from St. George’s School via Zoom was posted to
Carlson attended boarding school in Middletown, Rhode Island, as a teenager, sent his three children there and even married his wife Susan Andrews, who also attended the school, on campus.
The former Fox News host claims he was notified that students at the school wanted him to come talk to them, but when he tried to set up a time and date, he didn’t hear back from the school.
Carlson said he kept contacting the school for a “straight answer” and spoke with the principal and a board member who said it wouldn’t be safe for him to come to campus because “people could get killed.”
He then discovered that the school had no armed guards on campus and offered to bring his own, but the school turned him down, citing their “no weapons” policy.
Tucker Carlson was seen in a recorded Zoom call he had with students at St. George’s School after the prep school banned him from coming to campus to speak
The school is located in Middletown, Rhode Island and costs over $76,000 to attend
‘And I think: what? Is your security not armed? I sent three children there. “If I knew there wasn’t armed security, I wouldn’t have sent my kids there,” Carlson said.
The school has since found out that he had recorded the session with students and fired back at the former controversial host, claiming that he allegedly violated their agreement by recording.
In a letter to the campus community, administrators at the school, which costs more than $76,000 to attend, expressed frustration with Carlson.
“After careful consideration, school officials determined that a virtual conversation between Mr. Carlson and interested students was the best way to honor the invitation and ensure campus safety,” the letter said.
“We are disappointed that Mr. Carlson chose to record and share the Zoom discussion. The students deserved to know in advance, that was the plan.”
His Alma Mater added that they were “most disturbed” by Carlson’s “unfair criticism of our dedicated faculty and staff.”
During the chat, Carlson spoke candidly about his experiences with the school before speaking to the students.
“Frankly, in my conversations with the administration at St. George’s, I have experienced a total resistance to having someone they disagree with, even in the same world,” Carlson said dramatically.
He then told the students that the reason he couldn’t see them in person was because they “hated” his politics.
As he continued to reach out to the school for a “straight answer,” Carlson spoke with the principal and a board member, who said it would not be safe for him to come to campus because “people could get killed.”

Carlson said he understood that everyone at school might not have wanted to hear him speak and that was fine.
‘I don’t think you should force your opinion on anyone. “I don’t believe in that,” he said.
“They did it to me at St. George’s and I didn’t like it, and I said so at the time.”
He then described the communication between him and the school, saying that “no one would answer.”
After waiting “more than a week” for the school’s principal, Michael C. Wirtz, to call him back, Carlson said the entire process was “hilarious” for him.
When Wirtz called back, Carlson said the principal said he feared he would “attract national media attention” if he came to campus.
‘And I thought: garnish? The parsley on your steak? What are you even talking about? I think you mean Garner,” Carlson said as the students laughed.
Carlson then questioned Wirtz’s position before mocking the way he spoke when asked if Oprah would receive the same treatment as him.
Afterward, he said he received a call from an administrator who told him students didn’t want him to come to campus and said they thought Carlson was “embarrassing.”
“Okay, you don’t hurt my feelings, but this Henry guy seems smart, if he wants me to come, I’ll sit in a basement and talk to Henry for an hour and then I’ll leave,” Carlson said.

It is unclear how many students attended the Zoom session with Carlson.
He said he eventually told them he wasn’t wanted on campus because the school doubted the safety risk he could pose.
Carlson continued his tirade, asking if there would be a different response if President Joe Biden wanted to come to the school.
“If Joe Biden wanted Abrams tanks and F-16s to come, you would let him because you like Joe Biden. I mean, stop lying to me,” Carlson said.
As the segment of him talking to the students ended, Carlson said he “felt sorry for the kids who went there.”
‘Relax, you’re not going to hurt anyone. Ideas you disagree with are not dangerous. In fact, they should be welcome, you should be happy to hear them,” he said before laughing uncontrollably.
He continued to comment about the school as students asked him questions during the video call.
