A California university has denied students' bid to form a chapter of the far-right group TPUSA for the third time.
Point Loma Nazarene University cited concerns over Professor Watchlist and faith policies as the reason for its decision. The university's administration expressed opposition to what it perceived as divisive ideologies, which could create a hostile environment for certain students.
TPUSA, or Turning Point USA, is a conservative group co-founded by Charlie Kirk. It aims to promote conservative values on college campuses across the US.

like seriously what's the problem they don't want students talking about politics and free speech on campus? i get it, not everyone has to agree but come on its a college setting isn't that the whole point of going there?! 
professor watchlist is literally just people reporting profs who are too liberal and honestly it's kinda cool that tpusa wants to bring more voices to the table 
. I think it's awesome that Point Loma Nazarene University is prioritizing inclusivity and respecting all student perspectives. Prof Watchlist and faith policies are super important for ensuring a safe space for everyone on campus

. College should be about exploring your passions and values, not being forced into one particular ideology 
. I'm all about promoting critical thinking and respectful dialogue – that's the real American way of life

! Can't colleges just let students express their own opinions without judging them? I mean, TPUSA might have some polarizing views, but shouldn't it be up to each individual student to decide whether or not they want to join the group? It's like, what's next, are they gonna kick out a whole section of people because someone has a different view on politics? 
. Like, if you're gonna be all about promoting 'conservative values', just own it, right? Don't come in here and try to sugarcoat it with a bunch of 'concerns' about creating a hostile environment... it's pretty obvious what's going on. And honestly, who does the admin think they are, policing everyone's ideologies like that? It's college, not some kinda cult recruitment center 
it feels like universities r getting too caught up in politics rn, should be about learnin' & growin', not about who's got the right ideology 
. Personally, I don't think it's that simple. I'd love to hear more about what the students who wanted to form TPUSA chapter had in mind and how they plan to make their voice heard on campus 
.
. As someone who's lived through some pretty tumultuous times, I just don't think it's healthy for them to be surrounded by ideologies that are meant to drive a wedge between us. Our universities should be safe spaces where kids can explore different viewpoints and learn from each other, not places where they're being indoctrinated with certain kinds of politics.
. I get that it's an important principle, but when you're talking about creating a hostile environment for certain students, then what? It's just common sense to want to make sure everyone feels welcome and included on campus. If some groups are causing problems, maybe we should be having a conversation about how to address those issues, rather than shutting them down altogether.
... have you tried that new avocado toast place downtown? it's like $15 for two slices of toast with some guac and eggs... sounds crazy, but honestly, it's pretty good? I went there last weekend with friends and we were all like "is this worth it?" lol. anyway, back to the news... I feel bad for TPUSA though, they're just trying to spread their message on campus. I'm not sure if I agree with them, but I think every group has a right to express themselves. but at the same time, I get why some students would be worried about it... like, what's the deal with those faith policies? does anyone know more about that? and btw, have you seen those Professor Watchlist videos? they're so intense 
especially if they try to push their agenda on people who dont agree with them
the university is trying to protect its students from what could be a really negative experience I mean, some of those professor watchlist ppl are pretty wild and not exactly known for being chill about opposing views 
like what? Free speech? I thought universities were all about discussing those kinda topics. Now it's just a bunch of students like "hey, we can't talk about conservative values, that's gonna be bad for the environment"... get real! 
It's all just a bit too much for some people, I guess.
But seriously, it's like, can't we just have an open conversation without trying to suppress opposing views? 
It's like, can't we just talk about these things without getting all upset and sensitive? 
. Prof Watchlist and faith policies are some heavy concerns though, can't say I blame them for wanting to avoid a hostile environment. It's all about creating an inclusive space for everyone, right?
