College Republicans are insufferable losers. Can you imagine the kind of kids who show up for a high school level TPUSA event?
Like I dont get it. If women like Kirk want women to be totally subservient to men, why don't they fuck off and live in Afghanistan?
why don’t they fuck off and live in Afghanistan?
Or Iran
Iran seems a little too progressive for their tastes....
How was this even allowed to be staged in the first place? Someone at the school board should get fired..... From a cannon!
If only the headline were literally true. She was just blocked from speaking on campus.
Shouldn't she be at home looking after the kids, like a good conservative mum?
She's trying to find another small-faced husband first.
I thought she just needed to get away from her small-faced children of the corn.
No, she's busy being on the Air Force Academy board...
A place where evangelical extremism has been a problem for literal decades and everyone just pretends isn't a big deal.
Her not talking to a couple hundred highschoolers is nothing compared to the real damage she's doing when she's not pretending to be a couch.
If she's parenting her children at home, who's out there grifting on her behalf?
Well if sleeping with the Vice President 48 hours after becoming a widow doesn't earn you a chance to speak at a high school I don't know what will 😕
Please tell me there’s a source for that
There's no hard evidence. But some anonymous White House staff have reported the existence of an Erika Kirk body pillow at the Naval Observatory.
That headline just barely captured the facts lol
Honestly though
ok, so the headline makes it sound like a bit more than what it was, but:
A Phoenix-area high school pulled the plug on a planned on-campus appearance by Erika Kirk after a wave of student and parent complaints forced administrators to reconsider hosting the Turning Point USA chief during school hours, according to a new report.
Pinnacle High School principal Jeremy Richards sent families a notice Thursday announcing the event would be relocated off school grounds and pushed to after the final bell, saying the visit had the potential to create serious problems for the school day, The Daily Beast reported Friday.
still, glad to hear that some people at the school had the sense to stop this crazy bullshit before it started
Students were blunt about their objections.
"It’s a little crazy because I would never have expected someone like her to show up at a high school," one senior said. Another told local news the ideology she promotes had no place in a classroom setting and that the school could find far more appropriate guest speakers.
“I think the topics that she talks about are too extremist for a school. I think there are better representatives we can have,” said Francisco Sanchez, also a senior.
I'm very proud of these kids.
The kids are alright. And they rock.
They might be illiterate but at least they aren't down with fascism.
Yeah, the article basically says, “the parents also had problems” without really elaborating too much lol
hosting the Turning Point USA chief during school hours
I find it horrifying that this is even an option. I don't think political parties/organizations should be allowed to recruit in schools at all. Let alone America's Hitlerjugend.
High school? College kids too tough to debate?
Republicans dare not debate in colleges.
Not since... the incident.
She was meeting to much resistance, went down an education step in hope to find pliable minds to corrupt.
I bet in 6 months she'll be trying to perform at Elementary Schools... assuming shes allowed within 1500 feet of them given, you know, conservative grifters and their interests
Is society better off now that Charlie Kirk is dead? It certainly seems to be healing.
Get lost you ghoulish, fundamentalist attention whore.
Everyone liked this.
What a cesspool this countries institutions institutions are becoming. I bet she is getting taxpayer dollars to do this talk too.
Remember that this was even attempted next time we hear something about schools indoctrinating kids
It's just further evidence to them: "So we can't have speakers in schools to share Republican values like women shouldn't vote, immigrants are evil, and they might die as a sacrifice to the 1st amendment, but it's perfectly fine to teach Leftist talking points like 'the Nazis and slavery were bad'?"
In Idaho my daughters went to an assembly sponsored by the highschool during a school day that taught her that people who look at porn become serial killers.
Shit my health teacher in 2003 taught us that, showed us James Dobsons interview with Ted Bundy where he claimed that’s what made him a violent monster, in retrospect it’s very clear that Bundy is playing Dobson and telling him exactly what he wanted to hear.
-made me smile-
Apparently all it takes to be a TPUSA Talking Head is being married to one. No other qualifications necessary.
That's a problem in the whole USA political scene. Why does the first lady hold events and give speeches? In Germany, we usually don't even know whether the chancellor is married or not, and if we do, we certainly don't know the name of the partner and have never scene them on TV.
Honestly, that's one more qualification than her predecessor.
With people like her I wonder if she actually genuinely believes in her values or just determined them to be most profitable to her. And I'd argue that the latter would be even more evil
Notice that a lot of gop politicians end up having their kinks exposed. It’s all for show, it’s like Christian cosplay; these people are total heathens
What does she even talk about?
I've actually been to her events and they're pretty good.
She talks about personal responsibility, American values, and that one time she conspired with Israel to assassinate her husband.
All things considered, not a bad way to spend an afternoon.
“So Timmy, what happened at school today”
“Well Dad, you know that guy that got shot in the neck? The guy from the internet videos with the blood flying out of his neck? Well his wife is coming to school to talk to us! I guess she’s getting death threats too so the cops were doing active shooter drills with machine guns and everything!”
Sooo the dumb bitch failed at impressing adults so she moves to more impressionable minds and they won't have any of her nonsense?
Good on them kids.
Turning Point USA chief
Turning Point USA has chiefs? lol
