The state superintendent of public instruction in Oklahoma has announced plans to install chapters of Charlie Kirk’s youth organization Turning Point USA at all state public high schools. In a post on social media, Superintendent Ryan Walters wrote, “Radical leftist teachers’ unions have dominated classrooms for far too long, and we are taking them back.” In a press release, Walters detailed how students could start a Turning Point chapter in their schools by gathering at least three students and completing a charter agreement. Turning Point USA would then send the chapter an “activism kit.” Walters was asked by a local reporter about what would happen to a school if they refused to establish a chapter of Turning Point USA.

Ryan Walters: “Oh, yeah, I mean, we would go after their accreditation. We would go after their certificates. So, yeah, they would be in danger of not being a school district if they decided to reject a club that is here to promote civic engagement.”

Meanwhile, Oklahoma Republican lawmakers proposed a bill this week that would require all public colleges and universities to construct a “Charlie Kirk Memorial Plaza” on each campus that includes a statue of the late conservative activist.
