Oklahoma official says all high schools will have Turning Point chapters after Charlie Kirk killing | Oklahoma | The Guardian https://share.google/J0s2fbSopaNi8hWHU

The state superintendent in Oklahoma announced plans to put Turning Point USA chapters in every high school in the state, saying it would counter “radical leftist teachers unions” and their “woke indoctrination”.

After far-right activist Charlie Kirk was killed on a college campus earlier this month, requests to start chapters of his conservative youth group, Turning Point, at colleges and high schools have surged, the organization has said.

Oklahoma is the first state where the government is getting involved to promote starting these chapters. In a press release on Tuesday, Ryan Walters, the Oklahoma superintendent, detailed how students could start a chapter of “Club America”, the organization’s high school program, by gathering at least three students from the same school and completing a charter agreement. Then, Turning Point will help the club get a teacher sponsor and official recognition, and send materials such as an “activism kit”.



“We will be putting TPUSA on every high school campus in Oklahoma,” Walter said in the press release. “Charlie Kirk inspired a generation to love America, to speak boldly, and to never shy away from debate. Our kids must get involved and active. We will fight back against the liberal propaganda, pushed by the radical left, and the teachers unions. Our fight starts now.”

The OK government seems a bit RWNJ wacky...

7. WTAF is going on w/Oklahoma lately? They're acting like the shitty kid

that you forgot was even in your algebra class because he spent so much time in detention, trying to be the funny/cool bad boy but he just sucks at it.

Oklahoma seems to have penis envy over flaccid Floriduh and Texus.

[NCDem47]

14. I came on to say the same thing.

We get it. You're a red state. But lord almighty...FLAMING assholes tripping over themselves to prove how right/religeous/MAGA/Republican they are.

when the Orange One passes, looking for large swaths of OK to be renamed for him.

[Maru Kitteh]

19. YES! It's the VIGOR of their bowing and scraping that is

Simply BREATHTAKING lately!

Like poorly-adjusted middle kids from a knock-off version of the Duggar family, but with less sanity and a little bit more molestation.

8. Taxpayer funding for a blatantly partisan organisation ? Even in OK, that spells lawsuits. nt

[SickOfTheOnePct]

10. I didn't see that Oklahoma would be funding it...

...just that they're promoting it.

[Initech]

9. Ryan Walters is a blithering Trump ass kissing jackass who's only in it for the grift.

This dude should not have any power whatsoever.

[TlalocW]

11. I'm surprised that

Participation isn't mandatory, and I won't be surprised if a school's club isn't doung well, they'll be punished.

[spanone]

12. Will they be teaching racism?

[Paladin]

13. Many thanks, Oklahoma.

For making Texas look better, every day.

[mgardener]

15. Is Ryan Walters such an inept Superintendent

That he can't control what is being taught in OK schools?

Why yes, yes he is!

States consistently ranked among the worst for education in the US include New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Arizona. AI

He can't even improve the education standards in his state.

He is an incompetent, hot mess.

[Aristus]

18. And this will increase the academic rigor of Oklahoma's schools......how?...

[Ping Tung]

20. Is OK going to announce that "DUH" is now the officeal state slogan?

[maxrandb]

22. Oklahoma taxpayers better set aside a shit-ton of their money

to settle all the pedophile sexual abuse cases that will come out of this.

Hey OK taxpayer's! Take a look at the Catholic Church to see how this is going to work out for you.

24. Next semester: "All students of Pigs Knuckle High School will join the Turning Point Chapter."
