Oklahoma, fresh off requiring Trump Bibles, is going to establish Turning Point Chapters in all Oklahoma high schools. I wonder what the Republican clubs think of that.

Oklahoma’s Ryan Walters announces plan to establish Turning Point chapters at all state high schools​

Oklahoma State Superintendent of Public Instruction Ryan Walters on Tuesday announced a plan to establish chapters of the conservative organization Turning Point USA at all state high schools.

“I am very excited to announce a partnership with @TPUSA to establish chapters in ALL Oklahoma high schools. Radical leftist teachers’ unions have dominated classrooms for far too long, and we are taking them back,” Walters said Tuesday in a post on the social platform X.

Walters’s announcement comes after the deadly shooting of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, a founder of Turning Point USA. The Oklahoma education official’s post was also reposted by Turning Point.

The founder of a right-wing social media account named “Libs of TikTok” last year was appointed to the state library panel in Oklahoma. Walters announced at the time that the founder, Chaya Raichik, would be joining the state Department of Education Library Media Advisory Committee.

“Chaya is on the front lines showing the world exactly what the radical left is all about — lowering standards, porn in schools, and pushing woke indoctrination on our kids,” Walters said last year.

In the wake of Kirk’s shooting earlier this month, there have been intense debates about Kirk’s legacy and the limits of free speech, with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel being suspended by ABC after making controversial comments about the Turning Point founder’s assassination.

“Charlie Kirk’s assassination has just birthed a new era of Christian conservative leaders. There will be new faces and leaders emerge all across the country,” Walters said in a post on X last Wednesday.

Big government intervention is okay all of the sudden.

Turning point should apply for NGO status and make religious study time part of their support for high schools.

After all what's good for the goose...

So a club dedicated to political discourse makes people stupid?
Oklahoma has a "loyalty test" now for teachers from NY and CA thet they must pass before being considered for employment.

"Political discourse" is just rightwing indoctrination.

As usual, no link to back up your claim.

And that has nothing to do with TPUSA getting chapters in High Schools in Oklahoma.

Again, get back to me when students are required to sign up.

The lawsuit against Disney for spreading lies about Turning Point and MAGA by their spokesman Jimmy Kimmel can be used to fund this initiative.
 
Its the reddest and (not surprisingly) dumbest state in the union.
I saw an article that homeschooling is booming in Florida as parents reject desantisism and its crazy schooling, Arent they dumber than the Okies >
 
Several ideological organizations have established chapters in U.S. high schools, representing a diverse array of political, social, and activist ideologies.wikipedia+2

Major National Political Organizations​

  • Turning Point USA: The most prominent conservative student organization, with chapters in over 3,500 high schools and colleges as of 2025. These chapters promote free markets, limited government, and conservative causes, and have undertaken specific campaigns such as the "Flag the Classroom" initiative to foster patriotism in schools. TPUSA is a highly mobilized grassroots effort, notably linked to activism supporting President Trump's administration and campaign.tpusastudents+4
  • High School Democrats of America (HSDA): The major progressive counterpart, HSDA operates in over 40 states and hosts thousands of members. Chapters serve as youth entry points to Democratic politics, organizing for Democratic candidates and issues at every level of government.hsdems+1
  • Young America's Foundation: Another national conservative group providing resources for high school chapters to promote conservative values and support right-leaning causes.ileadexploration+1
  • Students Demand Action: A national anti-gun violence organization with high school chapters dedicated to organizing for policy change and activism.studentsdemandaction

Progressive and Social Justice Networks



  • Coalition Z: Connects students with elected officials and progressive organizations to foster political engagement and activism on social issues.collegevine
  • Dignity in Schools Campaign: A coalition advocating for civil rights and against school pushout and discrimination; it mobilizes students across the country, particularly around systemic equity in education.dignityinschools

  • Sandy Hook Promise: Though focused primarily on violence prevention, this nonprofit empowers students in leadership and advocacy roles within their schools.sandyhookpromise

Other Political and Civic Organizations​

  • Junior State of America (JSA): Promotes civic education, nonpartisan political engagement, and public affairs events for high schoolers.collegevine
  • Model United Nations, Political Action Clubs, Law Clubs: Many high schools offer clubs supporting ideological debate and civic participation but are generally nonpartisan, although some may become ideological in focus depending on student leadership.d125+2
  • Young Democrats and Young Republicans: While often smaller than national organizations, these chapter-based clubs exist in many high schools and function as local arms of their respective parties for organizing and political education.ileadexploration+1
