Overview
- State Superintendent Ryan Walters announced a partnership to place Turning Point USA clubs in all Oklahoma high schools and warned districts that refusal could trigger accreditation actions.
- Guidance from the state and TPUSA says chapters can form with three student leaders and will receive “activism kits” and support to secure school recognition and a faculty sponsor.
- Local resistance surfaced as Tulsa school board member John Croisant said the state cannot mandate a political club, and the education department opened inquiries into districts that skipped a Kirk moment of silence.
- TPUSA reported more than 120,000 recent chapter inquiries, named Erika Kirk CEO, and listed 11 fall tour dates featuring figures such as Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Glenn Beck, and several GOP officials.
- The tour has resumed with plans including a Nov. 10 UC Berkeley event, while in Utah the accused shooter, 22‑year‑old Tyler Robinson, remains in custody on aggravated murder charges that prosecutors say could carry the death penalty.
