Combat American Exceptionalism

Did the Russians covertly publish inflammatory and misleading political ads? Probably. Did Putin want Trump in the White House? Probably. Look. They did, they didn’t, I’m not here to argue. But I will ask: What did you expect? The world was closely watching our election, hoping and praying for “Pokémon-Go to Polls?” Maybe. The fact …

On TPUSA

Turning Point USA is a conservative non-profit organization whose purpose is “to identify, educate, train, and organize students to promote the principles of freedom, free markets, and limited government.” Its objective is to mobilize students on college campuses across the country to form a grassroots “activist” network to promote its conservative ideology.

About Us

Why is WooSCRAM not a chartered organization? We represent a number of radical leftist viewpoints, many of which espouse the abolition of all forms of unjustified hierarchy.

Mission Statement

We are an organized body of leftist students with a diverse range of left-of-liberal views seeking to establish a leftist tradition at Wooster committed to activism and community engagement.
