Following the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk on September 10, interest in the conservative student organization has surged on high school and college campuses nationwide.
In Texas, however, the push to establish a new chapter at Stratford High School in Harris County has prompted controversy and backlash from adults opposed to the effort.
According to the Harris County chapter of Moms for Liberty, Stratford students and teachers supporting the new TPUSA chapter were doxxed and targeted online by critics who attempted to pressure the school into blocking the club.
One post, circulated on social media, urged Stratford parents to contact teachers rumored to be sponsoring the club.

“Stratford Parents – I have an urgent request! Please please please send emails to two teachers who are rumored to have agreed to sponsoring a club that will sow division and hate among our students,” the post read.
“This is dangerous territory, and it would help if those teachers knew that their consideration was not appreciated by the remainder of the student body.”

The message specifically named individuals connected to the effort, including Denise Bell, who was described as “pushing for Stratford students to start a Turning Point USA club at the school.”
It also cited Gulf Coast Representative Javon Evans of “Club America,” the TPUSA-affiliated student organization.

The post claimed that a first meeting and social media presence were already underway without principal approval.
The online campaign went further, circulating a series of claims about TPUSA and its founder.
Among them were accusations that the organization runs a “Professor Watchlist” to target teachers, that teachers sponsoring a TPUSA club would be making a political statement, and that TPUSA has framed minorities and immigrants as “existential threats.”
Another claim suggested the assassination of Charlie Kirk was connected to “far-right rivalry,” despite police statements identifying the suspected shooter, Tyler Robinson, and his ideological motivations.
The post encouraged parents to send letters opposing the club to Stratford teachers, invoking concerns about students of various backgrounds and alleging that supporting TPUSA could “irreparably harm” those students.
In response, Moms for Liberty denounced the targeting of students and educators, calling it an attack on First Amendment rights.
The group publicly tagged Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who weighed in on X.
“These are sick individuals. My office will review these messages for any violations of the law. The radical leftist culture of suppression must be totally defeated. We are not backing down, and we will not be silenced,” Paxton wrote.

The attempt to establish a TPUSA presence at Stratford High comes amid a broader national wave of student interest in the organization following Kirk’s death.
While the group has often faced criticism from political opponents, TPUSA chapters have expanded significantly in recent years across both high schools and colleges.
Officials at Stratford High School have not issued a public statement on the controversy.
It remains unclear when or if the new chapter will be formally approved.
For now, the situation highlights ongoing tensions in Texas and across the country over the role of political clubs in schools and the limits of free speech protections for students and educators.

I don’t see ANY restrictions or exemptions to “Rights” of “Students” written in The Constitution – Do YOU know of any ? !!
Let us always call the brutal murder of Charlie Kirk exactly what it was – and NOT minimalise it as his “death” – Charlie was ASSASSINATED – MURDERED – let us ALWAYS be very clear about that !
Rest In Peace Charlie Kirk – you have achieved something no-one else could – God Bless You !
If push ever comes to shove in the event some leftist judge rules against a TPUSA Club at the school the students will form their club outside of school hours.
Imagine being more upset over the cancellation of a no-talent, dirt-bag late night TV comedian show than a political assassination and still think you are a decent person.
The insane left-tards and vile, evil, DemocRATs have finally realized that they cannot win elections by lying and cheating any more. The last election proved that, so now assassination is their new weapon of choice to gain power.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh that he would “pay the price” for rolling back abortion rights has resurfaced amid an arrest outside the justice’s home in Maryland. Back in March 2020, Schumer made a speech outside the Supreme Court as justices heard a case about a Louisiana abortion law, warning Kavanaugh and Justice Neil Gorsuch—former President Donald Trump’s other appointee at the time—that they could face dire consequences for their “awful decisions.””I want to tell you, Gorsuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh, you have released the whirlwind and you will pay the price,” Schumer, who was then minority leader, said at the time. “You won’t know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions.”

So why wasn’t the dirt-bag Schumer ever investigated for his hate filled rhetoric that caused a left-tard nut case to show up at Kavanaugh’s residence with a gun intent on assassinating the Justice?
