Texas Governor Abbott Pushes Turning Point USA in Public High Schools Across the State

HeadlineDec 10, 2025

Texas’s Republican Governor Greg Abbott announced that the state will be partnering with Turning Point USA to establish chapters of the right-wing youth organization launched by the late Charlie Kirk in every high school in Texas. Governor Abbott said, “Let me be clear: Any school that stands in the way of a Club America program in their school should be reported immediately to the Texas Education Agency.” Turning Point USA’s high school chapters are called Club America. The move follows similar efforts by state officials in Oklahoma and Florida to establish Turning Point USA chapters in high schools.
