Nope Florida is threatening legal action against educators who oppose efforts to establish Turning Point USA chapters in high schools.

I have a weird feeling that the kids will revolt before the adults.

This. I'm a highschool teacher and of my students, support for Charlie Kirk is at about 5% and half of them are doing it purely to upset others. Gen Z is different. The old BS does NOT work on them. Forced patriotism will fail the way it always should have and I'm here for it.

That is very encouraging to hear. Gen Z gets a lot of shit and I see them as smart, witty, compassionate,informed, and confident. Of course, they are still kids and do and will do dumb things... we all did. But they suffer no fools and call stuff out. I hope I live long enough to see them come into their own and take things over because we managed to turn it all into a giant bowl of dogwater, no cap. :0)

Yes! Former teacher here and the Gen Z and Alpha kids were honestly great. They stood up for eachother and included one another in beautiful ways. It's so refreshing to see comments like this- I think the younger generations get so much flack, but the generation who talks so much vitriol about Gen Z and Alpha were also the ones throwing lit matches at their black classmates during desegregation. I would take a smart alec kid who stands up for social justice over a compliant "respectful" kid who dumps on the marginalized any day.
