Saint Charlie hasn't done any miracles yet after his martyrdom. Yes he has been beatified and sanctified by the Evangelical Church of Racist America. Saint Charlie's "Turning Stomach USA" is increasingly seen for what it is, an American version of Germany's Hitlerian Youth organization that forced itself on every institution in the Germany of the late 1930s.
Saint Charlie's "Turning Stomach USA" is trying to force itself on every school and college in the US. Some backward states like Florida and Texas are passing laws punishing schools and colleges that do not open a "Turning Stomach USA" chapter on their campuses.
But some are resisting the fascist cudgel.

A protest broke out after a Turning Point USA chapter had announced it was launching at a high school in a suburb of Detroit. Residents and students of the Royal Oak High School (ROHS) community assembled to protest against the chapter before it had its first gathering.
A student organized a "Walk Out Against Hate & Violence" on October 22 "in opposition to the Turning Point USA coming to our school," a flyer promoting the protest reads.
"We will be sitting down in class and then leaving. Bring your items with you," the flyer reads.
Jaden Bennett, one of the TPUSA Michigan high school field representatives who cover metro Detroit, said there were dozens of students that protested the chapter being formed. "Some of these students that were protesting were questioning the principal," she added.
In addition to the protest, a student group called the Royal Oak Student Voice posted a memo blasting TPUSA for its platform, claiming it's masquerading as a civic non-profit group that in reality it's a "white supremacist" group.
"But in reality, Turning Point USA is a primary driver of white supremacist, anti-LGBTQ, pro-violence, anti-woman propaganda for young audiences. Below are quotes from its main spokesperson at Turning Point USA events. These aren’t political opinions. These are examples of Turning Point USA’s otherist and hateful views. Check their website for videos and podcasts if this isn’t enough," the student group said.
The United Students of Royal Oak drafted a "Constitution Against Hate" as well. The constitution called the school’s administration ignorant for approving the "pro-hate" chapter.
Within the first two hours of the TPUSA chapter posting on Instagram, outrage ensued. The chapter’s social media account had only 15 followers, but many commented and called for the group to be removed. "Students are just like, you're hateful, you are a Nazi, oh my gosh, you're a fascist, like, Charlie hated gay people, Charlie is a racist, how could you be promoting this?" Bennett said.
Over the next 48 hours, the backlash escalated with some comments spewing death threats.
"Within like 24 pushing 48 hours... They had accumulated over 900 Instagram comments on this post. Maybe 100 were positive, you know, like supportive. A lot of them were my students and other field reps," Bennett said.
