What a cesspool this countries institutions institutions are becoming. I bet she is getting taxpayer dollars to do this talk too.
Turning Point USA chief
Turning Point USA has chiefs? lol
It’s pronounced toilet paper.
Who was responsible for naming that group? Didn’t they realize that the abbreviation would be interpreted as Toilet Paper USA?
How did they not see that coming?
If the person who popped Kirk knew what kind of freakish dead-eyed monster would rise in his place, would they still pull the trigger?
Um I think that’s the reason they pushed the button.
Maybe she hired out to do it.
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
“Sense” seems to be responding to backlash in this case.
They are still supporting TP’s extreme right-wing anti-education propaganda, by a school of all places!EDIT: It read like the school were organising it themselves but it seems it was by a student club? Kind of weird that such a thing exists and they can host “high-profile” people, but there might be some indication the school itself wasn’t aware of it.
The relocated gathering will be restricted to members of a TPUSA-affiliated student club and a single guest apiece. School officials were careful to note that taxpayer money won’t foot the bill, and the visit carries no official district stamp of approval.
seems to me like TP reached out to maybe some neo-nazi district admin that made a short-term booking with little-to-no notice (so they couldn’t stop the nazis) to the actual school admin (except maybe the principle through some super-vague email, designed to hide the nazis) about some “district-mandated school assembly” (of nazis).
Some state/county/local law must have kicked in, requiring some sort of disclosure to some series of people the ended up in people being informed they were about to be mind-pissed by a bunch of christo-nazis, and, clearly, lots of people - included very not-stupid children - had a major fucking problem with that.
proud of those kids!
these aren’t just American values… I hope these are HUMAN values!
if you don’t believe this, I don’t think you should be considered human
“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!”
Shouldn’t she be at home looking after the kids, like a good conservative mum?
If she’s parenting her children at home, who’s out there grifting on her behalf?
She’s a single mum just trying to make ends meet.
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.
She’s trying to find another small-faced husband first.
She already has a candidate.
I thought she just needed to get away from her small-faced children of the corn.
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.
Cigarette ads knew this decades ago.
Remember that this was even attempted next time we hear something about schools indoctrinating kids
I mean at least a couple red states have attempted to put the ten commandments in schools. Even after courts obviously make them stop.
Everyone liked this.
Parents raised their own alarms, with several pointing to the political division Kirk’s presence would inevitably import onto campus
Peeve: it’s not the division that’s the problem. It’s the hate and lies.
-made me smile-
I’m starting to think having her husband assassinated wasn’t really worth it.
Let’s be honest here, if that was your husband, it’s always a win when he gets assassinated. Whether you can milk it for attention/money or not.
Can crazy eyes just go fuck herself? She might even feel human that way.
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.
Conservative grievances
man, I hate that guy.
Brilliant.
She is on her world privacy tour.
God. Guns. Being white.
Herself and her needs. She’s not trying to do anything for YOU.
