WATCH: Fox News Contributor’s Advice For School Shootings? Exorcisms
Conservatives have been searching hard for a solution to gun violence — as long as it’s one that doesn’t involve actually trying to keep deadly weapons out of the hands of dangerous people. Blaming everything from doors to marijuana, they’re in a desperate battle to reframe the problem in any way possible that doesn’t result in more gun control.
Well, Fox News contributor Bill Bennet has an idea. He’s suggesting exorcisms, among other things.

“Yeah, I think you need police, you need parents for sure, you need schools, you need to clean up social media. You need all that. But, you know, you may need an exorcist too. Before your audience shakes its head on that, if you look at these boys, these men, these young men, they have deeply spiritual problems. Deeply…where are the ministers, where are the rabbis, the priests? Look, I don’t want to suggest something that would seem farcical to a lot of your audience…it’s deeply spiritual void that these young men have in their hearts and their souls, and it needs to be addressed.”
Bennet isn’t just a random person who appears on Fox News — he’s an influential Republican who served as Secretary of Education under Ronald Reagan’s Administration, and according to the Center For Education Reform, he’s written books that have been adapted for use in schools, and is a Senior Advisor to a project that creates training and curriculum for STEM programs.
That’s a good bit of influence on the education system — and he believes exorcism might be an answer for school shootings.
