Oklahoma pledges TPUSA chapter in every high school
Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters announced he will establish Turning Point USA chapters in every high school in the state, posting the pledge on X and discussing it on Fox News. Walters framed the move as responding to parent and student requests to promote free speech and "American values," while Democrats and local school officials—including a Tulsa Public Schools board member—publicly rejected the plan and said districts cannot be compelled to adopt partisan organizations.
