Ryan Walters calls for Turning Point USA chapter at every high school in Oklahoma
Manage episode 508106049 series 2435118
Oklahoma’s State Superintendent Ryan Walters is declaring every high school in the state will have a Turning Point USA chapter in the wake of the death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. But it’s unclear what impact his declaration will have.
The conservative youth group is seeing a surge in popularity following the assassination of its founder.
In an announcement sent to parents, Walters said Oklahoma high schools need to get with the trend. Although a new chapter requires local student and faculty buy-in and action, Walters is declaring that all Oklahoma high schools — public, private, and even homeschool settings — must have a chapter.
“This is a battle for the future of the country,” Walters said in a Zoom interview in the hours following his declaration.
