Despite being a political junkie and longtime fan of conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, Shasta College senior Raymond Randolph hesitated to speak up about politics on campus. But Kirk\u2019s assassination during a Turning Point USA event at a Utah university in September 2025 changed that.<\/p>\n

Read more Data centers are guzzling California\u2019s water. We have no idea how much<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cGod was calling me up to the plate,\u201d said Randolph.<\/p>\n

The day after Kirk\u2019s death, Randolph reached out to Turning Point, which Kirk had founded, to start a chapter at his college in Redding. As the chapter\u2019s president, he said he\u2019s not alone in feeling mobilized after Kirk\u2019s assassination.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt drove a lot of people like me to get up and do something,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

While conservative students say they\u2019ve felt hesitant to speak aloud in the past, they now say emerging Turning Point chapters have helped them break out of their shells in California, with one student even describing them as a \u201csafe space.\u201d<\/p>\n

As of March this year, Turning Point USA told CalMatters it has 1,462 active college chapters nationally. Over 70% of those were founded after Charlie Kirk\u2019s assassination.\u00a0Turning Point\u2019s presence has nearly tripled on California campuses as of March, with 78 of the state\u2019s 119 active college chapters founded after Kirk\u2019s death.<\/p>\n

But conservative views continue to be overshadowed by more liberal voices on California campuses as tensions persist both in and outside classrooms, students and professors say.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of [the liberal students] think we\u2019re racist, most of them think we\u2019re fascists \u2026 especially in California,\u201d Randolph said.<\/p>\n

Kameron Tessier, president of the statewide California College Democrats organization, said Turning Point\u2019s rhetoric is \u201cdisgusting and very bigoted\u201d and must be investigated on campuses.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a firm believer in the First Amendment, but also the First Amendment has its consequences,\u201d said Tessier, a senior at UC Santa Cruz. \u201cIf they are pushing actively dangerous rhetoric on campuses, then I think it\u2019s worth it for administrations to look into that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Turning Point founder Kirk was a highly controversial political figure. His organization is notorious for its Professor Watchlist, an online database identifying \u201cradical\u201d professors. The watchlist has been called inaccurate, and has led to threats and harassment against faculty members across the country. It was also the reason why Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego denied a third attempt by students to establish a school-affiliated Turning Point USA chapter last November.<\/p>\n

Some of Kirk\u2019s most controversial comments include calling the Civil Rights Act \u201ca huge mistake,\u201d spreading COVID-19 misinformation and saying some gun deaths each year were worth it to protect the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n

In California, Generation Z, or those under the age of 29, is 1.5 times as likely to identify as liberal compared to their grandparents\u2019 generation, according to a 2022 statewide conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California.<\/p>\n

This lack of conservatism among young people spills onto campuses. Only three California institutions are featured on a list published last fall by college-ranking website Niche of the 100 most conservative colleges in the country. The list is based on student reviews of the political leanings of their campus communities. All three California institutions are private universities: Biola, California Baptist and National.<\/p>\n

Creating red spaces in blue places<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Students founded a Turning Point chapter at Claremont McKenna last spring. After Kirk\u2019s death in the fall, college security supervised each of the chapter\u2019s events. Several students heckled a vigil they held after Kirk\u2019s assassination in September. And at a February campus Turning Point tabling event, dozens of partially nude bikers rode by in protest of the national organization\u2019s viewpoints.<\/p>\n

Bike protest organizer Luca Davis called Turning Point\u2019s values \u201cun-American,\u201d and said the national organization\u2019s harmful rhetoric should not be tolerated on campuses. A junior at Pitzer College, which is part of the Claremont consortium, Davis said he hoped that having dozens of students laughing and blasting music as they biked by the tabling event would act as a visible \u201cfoil\u201d to Turning Point\u2019s values.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re living our beliefs and values while they\u2019re working to tear them down,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s an active expression of everything they\u2019re trying to destroy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the pushback, a Turning Point student leader said that membership has grown substantially since Kirk\u2019s death, and most members are underclassmen.<\/p>\n

A die-hard Floridian, 19-year-old Gabriel Khuly said he became disillusioned by Democratic politics after he moved to California to attend Claremont McKenna for college.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou really only get to see how stupid and bad Democrat policies are once you get to [really] see them,\u201d he said, citing the high concentration of homelessness on Skid Row and high food prices.<\/p>\n

The self-described \u201cgadfly\u201d and well-known conservative on campus said he noticed his right-leaning peers often don\u2019t feel fully comfortable sharing their views, both in and out of the classroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is still a sort of desire\u2026 to at least partially conceal those views,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Khuly has received a lot of flack for voicing his conservative political opinions on campus, particularly on the anonymous, campus-based social app Fizz. In late September last year, Khuly wore his MAGA cap and, alongside his friends, debated students on abortion and climate change at a table outside the campus dining hall. Later, a post on the campus app called him \u201cthe most insufferable, weird, and unf*ckable guy on the planet,\u201d receiving over 1,500 upvotes.<\/p>\n

Khuly said \u201che could not care less\u201d about the retaliation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese sorts of people, they don\u2019t exist in the real world,\u201d he said. \u201cThey exist online, they exist on college campuses, they exist at bougie<\/em> millennial coffee shops\u2026 they\u2019ll block up the streets for traffic for some protest or whatever, but outside of that, they don\u2019t exist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Up north in Shasta County, voters aged 18 to 20 are more likely to register Republican than those aged 21 to 29. But Shasta College itself, according to Randolph, is still a liberal hotspot, where speaking against liberal viewpoints wasn\u2019t really allowed \u2014 until his Turning Point chapter came along.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople have said that they\u2019ve gotten a lot of relief now that they know we\u2019re on campus.\u201d<\/p>\n

In some instances, tensions have boiled over, like at Turning Point\u2019s final tour stop at UC Berkeley in November. Fights broke out, with one man hospitalized after he was struck in the head. Police in riot gear arrested several people. In March, a heated exchange occurred at Cerritos College between Democrat congressional candidate Shonique Williams and Republican students and activists.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Political conflict in the classroom<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Scott Waller is the chair of the Political Science Department at Biola University in La Mirada, which Niche calls the most conservative college in California \u2014 and the 24th most conservative in the nation.<\/p>\n

During both of Trump\u2019s administrations, Waller said he has noticed an increased \u201canxiousness\u201d in the classroom.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf a student expresses his or her displeasure with the current Trump administration, they will know that there are students similarly animated in a very virulent way to defend the Trump administration,\u201d he said. \u201cThat creates some tension in class.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet, some educators relish in-classroom conflict. Stephanie Muravchik and other scholars across the Claremont Colleges analyzed millions of college syllabuses last year to see how professors teach about some of the most contentious subjects in academia, including the ethics of abortion and the Israel-Hamas war. They argued that only a small fraction of professors teach the full range of controversy in the classroom.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Professors must build \u201cmore contention\u201d into the classroom in order to encourage healthy intellectual debate, the Claremont professors wrote in an October online magazine op-ed.<\/p>\n

So, in sections of her \u201cIntroduction to American Politics\u201d class, Muravchik runs simulations with students taking on characters across the political aisle on topics such as social media regulation and constitutional ratification.<\/p>\n

She builds the simulations to include prominent conservative characters such as Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and FBI Director Kash Patel. While all of her students have fun taking on these roles, she noted that her \u201cquietly conservative students\u201d can choose them and feel like they have \u201cequal play in the political conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have fun fighting,\u201d she said. \u201cThey get to argue in a civil way.\u201d<\/p>\n

Freshman Ava Khansari was in Muravchik\u2019s American Politics class last fall. She said she enjoyed the simulations, and found them eye-opening. In one simulation, as she took on the role of TikTok CEO Shou Chew in a debate on deregulating social media, Khansari said she realized her true viewpoints \u201cwent the opposite direction\u201d to her character\u2019s views.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe games were a lot of fun,\u201d Khansari said. \u201cI really did change my viewpoints on certain topics.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a separate course on \u201cAmerican Jews and Liberal Democracy,\u201d Muravchik allows a few tense class sessions where, in class discussions, students debate more right-wing perspectives as well as other views.<\/p>\n

\u201cA number of students had some sort of revolution in their political thinking in all kinds of directions,\u201d Muravchik said. After some particularly exciting debate, one student even \u201ccame out as conservative.\u201d<\/p>\n

Claremont McKenna student Khuly was part of a course titled \u201cLiberalism and Conservatism\u201d at the college last fall, which explored political opinions over multiple centuries, and was, for the first time, co-taught by a left- and a right-wing professor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think that it allows the space for genuine, real study of politics,\u201d he said. \u201cYou don\u2019t get many spaces for that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite these benefits, there is one thing Khuly would change.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t believe I\u2019m saying this, [but] I wish we read more [work by] liberals.\u201d<\/p>\n
