Rep. Chip Roy Demands for Answers from Texas Christian University (TCU) on Report of Cancellation of TPUSA Event with Chloe Cole

Washington, D.C. - Congressman Chip Roy (TX-21) demands answers after Texas Christian University denies facility access for Turning Point USA event featuring Chloe Cole.

"Recent reports have surfaced regarding Texas Christian University's (TCU) handling of a facilities request by the student chapter of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) for a campus event featuring Chloe Cole. Chloe-a young woman who has courageously shared her testimony about de-transitioning and become a nationally recognized voice in the ongoing debate over gender ideology and its impact on minors-is a friend of mine. While TCU has stated that the event was not "canceled" but rather never formally booked due to space constraints, the situation raises important questions about the policies governing student access to campus facilities for hosting speakers." Rep. Roy wrote.

"University policies - especially for a University with Christ's holy name in its very name and which was founded on Christian theology and principles - should reflect that heritage by not just allowing but welcoming speakers who share a viewpoint reflecting a Christ-centered view, however controversial it is deemed. Roy noted."Such policies and decisions, if accurate, would certainly violate the principles that Texas parents and students expect their institutions to uphold, eroding public confidence in higher education's commitment to inquiry over conformity."

"Parents and students deserve assurance that their dollars are supporting education, not subsidizing censorship by omission or policy design." Roy concluded.
