Turning Point USA chapter denied official status by Loyola University New Orleans student government

A student government panel at Loyola University New Orleans has refused to grant official status to a newly established chapter of Turning Point USA, preventing it from becoming an accredited student group on campus.

According to a brief update from the university’s newspaper, The Maroon, “Breaking: Turning Point USA’s request to charter as an organization associated with Loyola University New Orleans was rejected during the Student Government Association’s senate session on October 15.”

This decision implies that the chapter will not be able to utilize university resources, such as booking venues for on-campus events.

Interestingly, Fight Back! News, a Milwaukee-based blog with a self-proclaimed leftist stance, has reported on the October 15 Student Government Association meeting. During this session, the SGA senate decided against allowing Turning Point to charter as an official campus organization.

The Loyola New Orleans website says that five or more students interested in founding a campus group can apply to do so. Assuming certain application conditions are met, the SGA vice president forwards the chartering application to the SGA senate for review.

The students attempting to start the organization then appear before the SGA senate for a question and answer session before the SGA decides on whether to approve the organization.

According to Fight Back! News, one student said Turning Point’s values do not comport with the school’s Jesuit Catholic values.

“Loyola University New Orleans, and our whole Jesuit Community, have prided themselves on the core values of Saint Ignatius, and the Society of Jesus at large. As it stands, Turning Point USA, its leaders, and many of the individuals whom they support are in direct opposition of these values,” a freshman named Rosalina Framboise reportedly said, particularly attributing statements to Kirk that “queer people are trying to corrupt your children” and “transgenderism and gender fluidity are lies that hurt people and abuse kids,” as evidence for her claim.

Official Catholic Church doctrine does not support gay marriage or transgenderism.

An unnamed student reportedly claimed Kirk and Turning Point promote “hate towards Hispanics.”

Kirk was assassinated while speaking at a campus event at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.

After his assassination, left-wing professors have attempted to shred Kirk’s legacy, as Turning Point displays on college campuses have been destroyed and students have been threatened.

Loyola New Orleans did not respond to a request for comment.

The Turning Point organizers on campus could not immediately be reached for comment.
