Texas AG To Step In After College Axes TPUSA Event Featuring Detransitioner

Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton announced on Wednesday that he planned to investigate reports that Texas Christian University had canceled a planned Turning Point USA event.
The event was initially scheduled to be held on the TCU campus as part of the tour the group’s late founder, Charlie Kirk, began before his assassination on September 10 — and was to feature detransitioner Chloe Cole — but Cole announced that her event was canceled just a week before it was set to take place.
Cole posted a short thank-you to Hillsdale College — where she’d spoken recently — thanking them for speaking positively of her recent appearance there rather than canceling the event out from under her.
“The first college to actually thank me for speaking on their campus instead of cancelling me like @TCU just did! Christian colleges (and otherwise) need to step up to keep democracy and free speech alive in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination,” Cole posted.

She followed that with an updated flyer showing that the TPUSA event was still on — but would be moved nearby to Birchman Baptist Church, also located in Fort Worth. When people asked Cole what had happened, she explained that the TCU chapter of TPUSA had found a room on campus to hold the event, and despite determining it was available for the requested time, the college denied them access to it.

“They denied the local TPUSA chapters (sic) request to have me on campus on the 7th even though the room was free. They didn’t give a real reason why,” she said.

Dallas Express reporter Carlos Turcios also noted that the event had been canceled, and his post caught Paxton’s attention.
“This doesn’t look like free speech to me. I’m going to look into this,” he said.
