Phoenix high school students encourage Bride of Chucky to not let the door hit her where the good Lord split her

https://www.thedailybeast.com/students-in-phoenix-arizona-outraged-at-erika-kirks-visit-to-pinnacle-high-school/

After a sparsely attended Turning Point USA campus event, Erika is now turning her attention to high schoolers, with a planned event at Pinnacle High

But she is already not being met with open arms by students and parents.

“I don’t know why she’s coming here, to be honest,” Francisco Sanchez, a senior at Pinnacle High School, told 12 News Phoenix. “I think the topics that she talks about are too extremist for a school. I think there are better representatives we can have.”

“It’s a little crazy because I would never have expected someone like her to show up at a high school,” high school senior Kasandra Acosta told the outlet.

Terrible choice fir a HS speaker.
Even among substitutes, we know to avoid politics in school. Now administration is inviting this character?
Stupid.

The Personality is gone. The cult soon will be. Erika actually has no personality, so will have no cult.

Funny how that works.

I guess Vance couldn't ring the ole bell, if you get my meaning.

I will say, playing predator to the underaged is pretty on brand for the republican party, so this checks out.
