  • 1.  Texas launches plan to open Turning Point USA chapters in every high school

    Posted 28 days ago

    Texas has launched a partnership with Turning Point USA to create chapters of the right-wing organization on every high school campus in the state. Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Turning Point USA Senior Director Josh Thifault revealed the initiative during a news conference at the Governor's Mansion on Monday. They did not outline any plans that would require schools to initiate the clubs, but Abbott said that he expects "meaningful disciplinary action" to take place against "any stoppage of TPUSA in the great state of Texas."

    Forcing high schools to have Turning Point chapters is ludicrous.  I have read up on this topic a bit and do not support it in any way.

    I did not read it as to say each high school must include the TPUSA. I fully believe our schools should support anything positives they can.  Our children are being led down the wrong road in many areas.  I think our schools could enhance their instructions if they had times/sessions where students and faculty could hear good things and not be so focused on negative feelings and ideas.
