“We don’t print propaganda here!” Teen Organizers Claim Office Depot Refused to Print Posters for Charlie Kirk Prayer Vigil, Calling It “Political Propaganda”
Three Michigan teenagers organizing a prayer vigil for conservative commentator Charlie Kirk say they were denied service at an Office Depot in Portage after staff allegedly refused to print their posters, calling them “political propaganda.”
According to Kelly Sackett, who has been assisting the teens with the event, the posters had been paid for in advance. When the boys returned to the store—located at 6685 South Westnedge Avenue—to pick them up, they were told by two employees that the posters would not be printed.
In a video shared with The Gateway Pundit, one of the teens is heard explaining that the posters were for a vigil being held that evening. “So, we came in for an order earlier—to print a poster for a vigil tonight, for somebody that passed,” he says.
One employee, identified in the video as a print supervisor, responds, “Yeah, so we don’t print propaganda.” A manager then adds, “It’s propaganda. I’m sorry. We don’t print that here.”
When the teenagers ask for clarification, one questions, “What makes it political propaganda?” The manager replies, “Because it’s political propaganda, and we don’t have to [print it].” The supervisor then suggests they can return on Monday to speak with the general manager.

A copy of the receipt confirms the order had been placed and paid for in advance. The teens insist the posters were simply for a prayer vigil and were not political in nature.
The incident has sparked backlash online from supporters of the teens and Charlie Kirk, with many questioning the store’s policies and treatment of customers with differing political views.
