Oklahoma state school superintendent Ryan Walters announced Tuesday afternoon that every high school in the state will now have a Turning Point USA chapter.
On September 18, a full 8 days after TPUSA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated in Utah, the organization announced on X that have had received over 62,000 requests from high school and college students nationwide to either start a new TPUSA chapter or join an existing chapter.
In an update Tuesday afternoon, TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet announced:
After Sunday’s memorial for Charlie, TPUSA received a massive surge of inquiries to start new chapters.
Pre-Sunday: We had around 60,000 inquiries
Post-Sunday: We are now at over 120,000 inquiriesEven accounting for attrition and duplicates, we are on the cusp of having a TPUSA or Club America chapter in every HS and College campus in America.🤯

Now Walters, a staunch conservative, is taking the initiative to make sure there is a TPUSA chapter established in every single high school across the state of Oklahoma.
In a video posted on X Tuesday afternoon, he said, “We have seen the outpouring from parents, teachers and students that want to be engaged in the meaningful work going on at Turning Point. They want their young people to be engaged in a process that understands free speech, open engagement, dialogue about American greatness, dialogue around American values.”
“I am very excited to announce a partnership with @TPUSA to establish chapters in ALL Oklahoma high schools. Radical leftist teachers’ unions have dominated classrooms for far too long, and we are taking them back,” Walters declared.
