Shouldn't she be at home looking after the kids, like a good conservative mum?

    She's trying to find another small-faced husband first.

    No, she's busy being on the Air Force Academy board...

    A place where evangelical extremism has been a problem for literal decades and everyone just pretends isn't a big deal.

    Her not talking to a couple hundred highschoolers is nothing compared to the real damage she's doing when she's not pretending to be a couch.

    ok, so the headline makes it sound like a bit more than what it was, but:

    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.

    still, glad to hear that some people at the school had the sense to stop this crazy bullshit before it started

    Students were blunt about their objections.

    "It’s a little crazy because I would never have expected someone like her to show up at a high school," one senior said. Another told local news the ideology she promotes had no place in a classroom setting and that the school could find far more appropriate guest speakers.

    “I think the topics that she talks about are too extremist for a school. I think there are better representatives we can have,” said Francisco Sanchez, also a senior.

    hosting the Turning Point USA chief during school hours

    I find it horrifying that this is even an option. I don't think political parties/organizations should be allowed to recruit in schools at all. Let alone America's Hitlerjugend.

    Dear Erika Kirk,

    Your late husband was a scourge on the world and he died a death too clean for his own good. We'd say it's disgusting you're using your husband's death as a platform to spread more misinformation and hate, but we suppose it's fitting that his memory is besmirched by your fucking lunacy. We wish you all the worst save perhaps your late husband's fate you pathetic pathetic excuse for a human being.

    Sincerely,

    Most of The United States Population

    She was meeting to much resistance, went down an education step in hope to find pliable minds to corrupt.

    I bet in 6 months she'll be trying to perform at Elementary Schools... assuming shes allowed within 1500 feet of them given, you know, conservative grifters and their interests

    Well if sleeping with the Vice President 48 hours after becoming a widow doesn't earn you a chance to speak at a high school I don't know what will 😕

    College Republicans are insufferable losers. Can you imagine the kind of kids who show up for a high school level TPUSA event?

    What does she even talk about?

    I've actually been to her events and they're pretty good.

    She talks about personal responsibility, American values, and that one time she conspired with Israel to assassinate her husband.

    All things considered, not a bad way to spend an afternoon.

    Apparently all it takes to be a TPUSA Talking Head is being married to one. No other qualifications necessary.

    Is society better off now that Charlie Kirk is dead? It certainly seems to be healing.

    Oh she will be welcome in any high school in the South. I am glad I have retired teaching.

    Like I dont get it. If women like Kirk want women to be totally subservient to men, why don't they fuck off and live in Afghanistan?

    Parents raised their own alarms, with several pointing to the political division Kirk's presence would inevitably import onto campus

    Peeve: it's not the division that's the problem. It's the hate and lies.

    “So Timmy, what happened at school today”

    “Well Dad, you know that guy that got shot in the neck? The guy from the internet videos with the blood flying out of his neck? Well his wife is coming to school to talk to us! I guess she’s getting death threats too so the cops were doing active shooter drills with machine guns and everything!”

    I’m starting to think having her husband assassinated wasn’t really worth it.

    Who was responsible for naming that group? Didn’t they realize that the abbreviation would be interpreted as Toilet Paper USA?

    How did they not see that coming?
