NEED TO KNOW
- Oklahoma to mandate Turning Point USA chapters in every high school
- Ryan Walters says guidance counselors were “too woke” to stay employed
- Students will now receive life advice directly from Charlie Kirk memes
Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters has announced that Turning Point USA chapters will soon be a standard feature in every state high school. He said the plan will “finally end the woke monopoly in classrooms” by replacing guidance counselors with a pipeline of Charlie Kirk memes and patriotic pep talks.
“Guidance counselors were pushing scholarships, safe spaces, and reading lists,” Walters explained. “Students need to know how to recognize Marxism in a cafeteria menu, not how to apply for federal aid.”
From Counselors to Culture Warriors
Each new chapter will offer training in debate tactics, social media engagement, and spotting communist influence in dress code policies. College counseling will be replaced with “Life Lessons From Turning Point,” a module that tells students to consider podcasting, pyramid sales, or direct entry into the influencer economy.
When asked who will help with mental health issues, Walters held up a new handbook titled “Just Toughen Up.” It contains advice like “pray harder” and “have you tried owning a liberal online?”
Student Life, Rebranded
Instead of career fairs, schools will host Patriot Expos. Booths will showcase conservative start-up kits, podcast microphones, and bulk discounts on American flag polo shirts. Administrators insist this will create a more “values-based” experience, though critics argue it leaves students without real guidance.
Parents worried about bullying were told it will be “patriotic peer pressure.” Libraries are also updating: To Kill a Mockingbird is being replaced by Kirk’s 600-page guide to cafeteria freedom and inspirational quotes about owning teachers during homeroom.
“We are training the next generation of leaders,” Walters said. “America does not need more counselors. It needs more Charlie Kirks.”
