For him, the lack of religious teachings in public schools would be a serious flaw, associating the absence of the Bible with the departure from moral values.
“Tucker will be homeschooled. Let's homeschool our children or they will end up becoming gay. I don't want him to be a communist, I don't want him to worship Satan, and I don't want him to be gay. They took away the most valuable book from public schools, the record holder for sales. The oldest and most accurate historical document of all: the Bible. They took him out of school and replaced him with Edgar Allen Poe, who had sex with his cousin. My son will not read Edgar Allen Poe. He will read the Bible. If you don't teach these things to children, they will be directly offered to the devil. We won’t let that happen,” he concluded.

According to our belief, the Earth is stationary, with the celestial bodies – the stars and the sun – revolving around our stationary planet. And I am ready to substantiate this belief with compelling evidence,” he said.
The flat Earth theory is a belief that the Earth is not a spheroid (as is widely accepted by science), but rather a flat surface. According to proponents of this theory, the Earth would be a flat disk, with the North Pole in the center and a “rim” around it, in addition to arguing that gravity and other laws of physics as we know them would not apply in the way that conventional science explains.
