Overview
- The lieutenant governor said he decided after a Thursday call with Turning Point executives to fund a push for chapters on every college and high school campus in Texas.
- Patrick is scheduled to speak Tuesday at a University of Houston event alongside Attorney General Ken Paxton, who has appeared frequently at recent Turning Point gatherings.
- Paxton, a candidate in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate, framed the campus events as support for open debate over indoctrination.
- Texas has more than 1,200 school systems, roughly 5.5 million K–12 students, and over 200 colleges, highlighting the scope of the expansion goal.
- Reporting so far provides no timeline or operational details on how chapters will be established beyond Patrick’s initial pledge.
