Loyola University New Orleans’ student government has voted to deny recognition of a proposed chapter of Turning Point USA as an official student organisation on campus.
The university's internal policies state that the Student Government Association (SGA) oversees the chartering process. When the application for a new chapter was brought forward, reports said nearly 100 students attended the SGA Senate meeting to express opposition. Rosalina Framboise, a freshman at the university, described Turning Point USA as being “in direct opposition” to “the core values of Saint Ignatius and the Society of Jesus at large,” citing remarks made by the organisation’s founder, Charlie Kirk, including that “queer people are trying to corrupt your children” and that “transgenderism and gender fluidity are lies that hurt people and abuse kids.”
