After the assassination of TPUSA founder and American activist Charlie Kirk on September 10, 2025, his organization has received more than 62,000 requests to start or join a chapter in a local college or high school. Francis Howell Families spokesperson Chris Brooks spoke of the organization’s initiative with TPUSA to work with schools to provide alternative viewpoints to the leftist ones being pushed by government-employed “teachers.”
He said “Charlie Kirk’s mission was to engage in constructive dialog with anyone who would talk with him. We believe that mission should continue and want to help our youth have opportunities to engage in critical conversations about important topics…Students are already being taught leftist points of view and ideologies during the school day. Having voluntary student led clubs that focus on freedom, love of country, and constructive dialog with others is a small step towards helping students get a balanced view of the world and a greater understanding of our country.”
