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 organizations 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.

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

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

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.
