Petition started by Berea College students asking school to not endorse proposed Turning Point USA chapter

A petition is circulating at nearby Berea College in Eastern Kentucky to urge fellow students to rally against a Turning Point USA chapter being established.

A published report by Berea College News & Radio said a student posted fliers around campus last week that sought a faculty advisor to a potential TPUSA group.

The feedback from Berea alumni on social media has been split with former students calling for equal representation and giving the Turning Point group a voice if requested. Five years ago, Berea administrators stressed free speech and the exchange of ideas when a student group hosted an anti-President Trump forum.

Berea is known for its tuition-free experience that requires students to work at least 10 hours per week in a campus department to cover the cost of room, board, and materials.
