At Least 15 Turning Point USA Clubs Blocked by Various Schools This Year
“at least seven remain blocked, including one at St. John’s University in New York and another at Point Park University in Pittsburgh”
There was a surge of interest in TPUSA this year because of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. The campus left tried to block it.
The College Fix reports:
15 Turning Point USA clubs were blocked this school year after Charlie Kirk’s assassination
At least 15 Turning Point USA clubs were blocked on college campuses this school year following the assassination of founder Charlie Kirk.
The College Fix reviewed its own archives, Google News, and the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression’s “Students Under FIRE” database to compile the list. This does not include high school clubs that faced obstacles.
Of the 15 blocked clubs, a little over half were ultimately approved by administrators following backlash, including Saint Mary’s College in South Bend, Lawrence University in Wisconsin, and Fort Lewis College in Colorado.
As of this writing, at least seven remain blocked, including one at St. John’s University in New York and another at Point Park University in Pittsburgh.
Furthermore, The Fix identified at least 13 different Turning Point USA clubs that faced violent protests, attacks, or sign thefts in relation to various events.
For example, a video captured someone tossing coffee on a table at the University of California Berkeley.
Signs were also stolen and thrown across a room during a Turning Point event at Wesleyan University in Connecticut.
In some cases, student government leaders boasted about their role in blocking chapters of the free-market student group.
“TPUSA chapter is trying to get chartered on our campus, and we said hell no,” Juleea Berthelot, a student and vice president of National Students for a Democratic Society, said during a November conference.
“We showed up to the student Senate meeting with over 100 students… and they were denied their charter, which was a huge win for us,” she said at the National Alliance Against Racist & Political Repression conference.

They make no pretense of honoring freedom of speech and open-mindedness.
We should play by the same rules.
