Students at Pinnacle High School in north Phoenix are pushing back against a planned on-campus appearance next week by conservative activist Erika Kirk, who recently faced a poorly attended event at the University of Georgia and has shifted focus to high school audiences.
The planned visit follows what local media described as a flop for a Turning Point USA campus event in Georgia, which Kirk skipped, citing safety concerns. She is now due to speak at Pinnacle in partnership with Club America, a TPUSA-affiliated student group, but the move has triggered concern among pupils and parents who say they neither asked for nor welcome her brand of politics on school grounds.
