Dan Gallipoli, a student and Turning Point USA chapter president at West Haven High School in Connecticut, told Breitbart News that teachers and administrators at his school got offended over TPUSA signs that read “America is the greatest country in the world.” The conservative student spoke to host Alex Marlow in a Wednesday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily for the show’s weekly TPUSA campus report segment.

A student at Park City High School in Park City, Utah, has admitted to releasing pepper spray inside a lecture hall last month in an attempt to prevent the school’s Turning Point USA student group from hosting an event.

Turning Point USA Chief Creative Officer Benny Johnson joined host Alex Marlow in a Wednesday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily for the weekly TPUSA campus report.

Texas State University’s student senate recently held an “emergency meeting” to vote on a resolution calling on the school to ban its police department.

A student at the University of Missouri was caught on video destroying a Turning Point USA flyer that had been promoting the group’s upcoming event.

Turning Point USA founder and Executive Director Charlie Kirk launched his new podcast, The Charlie Kirk Show on Wednesday.

Some might say that it is ironic that watchdog groups and media members who say they are trying to combat hate are tolerating it at best and spreading it at worst. It isn’t ironic, it is deliberate.

Texas State University President Denise M. Trauth reiterated the importance of free speech in a statement on Friday, amid a recent vote by the school’s student government to ban the conservative organization Turning Point USA. In her statement, the university president also informed the public that student government “does not have the power to ban a student organization.”

Police are investigating a hit and run accident they consider a “bias incident” after a man allegedly followed the president of the South Seattle College Turning Point USA (TPUSA) organization with his vehicle as she walked to her car on Thursday.

Turning Point USA founder and Executive Director Charlie Kirk told Breitbart News that “the cartel of the colleges” is not happy about President Donald Trump’s recent executive order regarding free speech on college campuses, as the “intellectual tyrants” of academia “believe there’s no consequences for them, whatsoever.” Kirk offered his remarks in a Friday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.
