Erika Kirk event booted off high school campus after backlash from students and parents

Erika Kirk event booted off high school campus after backlash from students and parents - Rawstory

A Phoenix-area high school pulled the plug on a planned on-campus appearance by Erika Kirk after a wave of student and parent complaints forced administrators to reconsider hosting the Turning Point USA chief during school hours, according to a new report.

Pinnacle High School principal Jeremy Richards sent families a notice Thursday announcing the event would be relocated off school grounds and pushed to after the final bell, saying the visit had the potential to create serious problems for the school day, The Daily Beast reported Friday.

Kirk took the reins at TPUSA following the assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk, last year, and has since become a prominent figure in right-wing circles — a fact that didn't sit well with many at the north Phoenix campus.


MEANWHILE (they don't seem to do so well at their town halls, DO they?):

'Spineless': House Republican pelted with boos, rage at chaotic town hall - The Huffington Post (Huffpost) via MSN


Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) faced a wave of boos and criticism from his constituents at a town hall event on Sunday as he attempted to defend his support for... Donald Trump’s unpopular Iran war.

“You say that when you disagree with Trump, you will tell him so, but that’s not enough,” said a man who sparked “loud cheers” from the crowd, per the Journal News.

“You must impeach. He’s a fraud, he’s corrupt, he’s an incompetent psychopath. The Republican Party and you are enabling him. You’re all cowards, and you’re spineless,” the man continued before he was kicked out of the auditorium at New York’s Mahopac High School.

The comments arrived moments after Lawler — a centerpiece of sorts for hostile townhalls since Trump’s return to office — argued in favor of (Trump) dragging the U.S. into the war, declaring that America needs to “do everything we can to ensure” the Iranian regime doesn’t get a nuclear weapon.


America DID, asshole... ELEVEN YEARS AGO. But your orange jeezus tore it up because... OBAMA.

She just hasn't figured that out yet. TPUSA probably won't survive without Charlie.

... when someone with only a couple of minutes on the clock himself, like JD 'Sofaboy' Vance, starts questioning her, her time is up.
