Corey DeAngelis, a school privatization activist and Fox News guest praised by former President Donald Trump, was placed on leave by his conservative nonprofit employer, the American Federation for Children. This move came after reports surfaced that DeAngelis had appeared in gay pornography videos under the name “Seth Rose.” The organization has not provided further comments on the matter. DeAngelis, with a Ph.D. and a background in conservative nonprofits, has been an advocate for school choice and has criticized LGBTQ topics in schools. He has made appearances on Fox News criticizing policies supportive of LGBTQ students, claiming that schools should focus on basics like math and reading, not sexual topics. DeAngelis released a book titled “The Parent Revolution” which was endorsed by Trump on social media. J.D. Vance, Republican vice presidential candidate, also shared one of DeAngelis’ posts. The situation has caused controversy, with DeAngelis posting inflammatory content on social media criticizing support for trans girls in school sports and a children’s reading program. DeAngelis has not been active on social media since September 19, and his page on the American Federation for Children’s website has been taken down. DeAngelis’ situation highlights the complexities of balancing personal endeavors with professional roles, particularly in the context of controversial topics like education and LGBTQ rights.
