Sten Reacts: The TPUSA Push in RI Schools - Cranston West Flashpoint Break Down

Something big is happening inside Rhode Island’s schools—and almost no one in local media is talking about it. TPUSA and Turning Point Action are rapidly expanding their presence, and the Cranston West event with Anthony Watson lit the fuse.

In this episode, Sten reacts to the full event, the rhetoric, the call to action delivered to students, and the behind-the-scenes tensions that erupted—including Adam’s removal and the TKU/Karen Iacobbo moment everyone is talking about.

We also walk through updates from RIC and Barrington, new connections with TPUSA New England leadership, and the historical context of activism at Cranston West (including Steve Alhquist’s 2013 Prayer Banner fight). Then we break down the post-event interviews by Karen Iacobbo

If you want the real story behind Turning Point’s growing influence in RI schools, this is the episode.
