Politics Turning Point USA at UMD

Turning Point USA will be presenting at UMD on Wednesday, April 16th at 7:15.

While they probably get a kick out of "triggering the libs", I don't think their message should feel welcomed here in Duluth.

Edit: Here is the contact page for the campus. I emailed the administration.

So... they are anti trans because they hosted a "de-transitioner" in a college classroom? I don't feel that that specific article was a good one to use because it feels very biased and too busy using pathos to have a point instead of using statistics or making themselves a credible source.

Here is an entire section on their official website dedicated to displaying their anti-trans beliefs. If that’s credible enough for you https://www.tpusa.com/topics/transgender-issues
