This is unacceptable behavior by an adult entrusted with safeguarding America\u2019s next generation. Contrary to his public statement, Principal Grishaber is the one failing to uphold Taft\u2019s values of \u2018diversity and inclusion\u2019 by blocking a conservative student group on a campus dominated by progressivism. Unlike Principal Grishaber, TPUSA remains committed to welcoming all students, regardless of skin color, ethnicity, or background and the organization will continue working to form a chapter at Taft in the weeks and months ahead.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Charlie Kirk, 28, founded TPUSA in 2012 and it has become one of the largest conservative groups for students across the country.
