The Heitage Foundation Stat is used to advance the transient terrorist classification

in the wake of Charlie Kirk was killedThe Republican Politics Authority immediately went to work. Heritage Foundation, which was published Project 2025And spin offThe Supervision Project, issued a Call For the Federal Investigation Office to appoint “violent extremism inspired by the transgender ideology”, or “Tive”, as a threat to local terrorism. The batch comes at a time when President Donald Trump just fell Executive order Which seeks to mobilize federal law against local terrorist networks defined mysteriously.

The Heritage Foundation Document and the Supervision Project, which is known as the “transgender ideology” as “believing that it is completely or partially rejects the basic sciences of the human race that is biologically determined before birth, the two, and the non -change, the recommendations of its policy in the amazing claim:

When WIRED requested the data behind this claim, the supervision project did not respond; The Heritage Foundation referred to a tweet From one of its presidents, Roger Sevirino, claiming that “50 % of the shooting operations of the main (non -gangle) schools since 2015” involve the transgender shooter or transit motivation. Cevirino also apparently puts his entire data set: eight shootings, four of which, as it claims, includes “the shooter via identity and/or motivation associated with potential physiology.”

Data tells a different story.

Since 2015, at least dozens of dozens of fire on school ground occurred, according to data from K-12 school shooting databaseThat followed every incident related to a pistol on school ground since 1966. Three perpetrators at the database – 2019 shooter at STEM School Highlands Ranch in Colorado and Al -Ahd School in Nashville in 2023 – was determined by credibility in general reports as a sexual transformation or under the supervision of sex. Nashville police concluded that the shooter was not motivated by a clear political or ideological agenda, but gave priority Bad and unanimous. In Colorado, investigators say one of the archers, a sexual transformed boy, says Bullet and long -term mental health conflicts As motives.

At a shooting in August, a 23 -year -old individual opened fire outside the Catholic Church in Minneapolis. The shooting has changed his name legally and wrote about the struggle for sexual identity, but there is no general evidence that he constantly defined as transgender, which makes the classification inconsistent. Police says the attack was fueled by hostility towards Jews, Christians and minorities, as well as seeking a bad reputation. The prosecutors added that Animus was sweeping, saying that the shooter “expressed hatred towards almost every group that could be imagined.”

The K-12 database, the most comprehensive of its kind, does not include sex data for about 12.5 percent of the archers in schools since 2015, which makes it difficult to extract strong conclusions about wider patterns.

Other mass shootings were performed in schools, including Parkland in 2018 and UVALDE in 2022, by young people who have a history of grievance, hate women or violent thinking. None of them has been linked to a “transgender ideology”.

The researchers say that the largest pattern indicates in the opposite direction: the superiority of white superiority, the beliefs of women’s anti -women, and the beliefs of women hated the lion’s share of armed violence with ideological motives. They target a “transgender ideology” as a terrorist category, warn and confuse identity with ideology, risk licensing violence against any person who defies sexual standards, and turns attention from real drivers of school yard violence.
