Conservative activist Charlie Kirk told a 14-year-old girl her main reason to attend college should be to find a husband.

The founder of Turning Point USA was speaking at his recent Young Women's Leadership Summit in Grapevine, Texas, when a high school freshman asked for his "pros and cons" on attending college, mentioning her aspiration for a career in political journalism.

Kirk, who dropped out of community college in Chicago, responded by advocating for the "MRS degree."
