Tucker Carlson slammed as his alma mater accuses him of violating agreement by recording Zoom session
MIDDLETOWN, RHODE ISLAND: The prestigious St George's School in Rhode Island has accused its alumnus, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, of allegedly violating an agreement by recording a Zoom session with students without permission, as per The Daily Beast.
In a letter addressed to the school community, administrators expressed their disappointment over Carlson's actions, which they alleged violated the terms of the remote discussion.
The incident has sparked outrage online, with social media users slamming Carlson for his actions and demanding accountability.
St George's School alleges Tucker Carlson violated agreed-upon terms by recording and sharing a Zoom session
According to the school, a student group initially invited Carlson to speak on campus.
However, due to security concerns and a state law prohibiting guns on school premises – Carlson travels with armed guards – it was agreed that the former television host would participate remotely via Zoom.
"In accordance with school policy, Mr Carlson and his team agreed that there would be no recording of the students participating in the session given that most of the students in attendance would be minors," the letter stated.
Despite the agreement, the school alleges that Carlson's team recorded the Zoom discussion and shared it online, violating the terms they had agreed upon.
"It's now apparent that the Zoom discussion was recorded by Mr. Carlson's team and shared online in a clear violation of that agreement and our policies," the letter continued.

In a video that surfaced across social media, Carlson can be seen claiming that the school showed "a total resistance to having anybody who they don't agree with, even in the same world."
He further stated, "Like, I'm not on your campus right now—the campus that I went to, and donated to, and sent my three children to—because they wouldn't let me come… because they hate my politics."
The school leaders accused Carlson of misrepresenting the communications leading up to the Zoom discussion and criticized his "unfair criticism of our dedicated faculty and staff."
They expressed their support for the "professionalism and commitment" of the school's staff.
