Left-Wing Karen Says She Reported TPUSA Chapter To Child Protective Services

A woman objecting to the formation of a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter in Calvert County, Maryland, told the county school board Thursday she reported the chapter to child protective services.

The woman, identified during the meeting as Nancy Krause, described herself as a retired nurse who said she made the report, claiming that the Calvert County Club America had barred adults who were not volunteers from a Dec. 17 event featuring two members of the Calvert County Board of Education. The president of the TPUSA-affiliated group, a Calvert County Public Schools student addressed the board, offering to discuss concerns members might have.

“Good evening, y’all. I’m a student in Calvert County Public Schools, and also the president of Calvert County Club America, which is affiliated with turning point USA chapter. It’s not affiliated with the Calvert County Public Schools, it is separate, and not politically involved in a partisan manner, and we cannot endorse any candidates nor parties,” the chapter president for the organization told the board prior to Krause’s screed. “We invited the board to discuss what they do, and what their policies are. All students that were there were in attendance with parental permission, and all publicly advertised. However, we received much hate, and we posted online that we would not be allowing any adults that are not volunteers nor parents.”

WATCH:

Krause appeared to ignore what had been said when she spoke immediately after the Club America leader addressed the board in her remarks.

“Turning Point USA had an event for students. While community-building opportunities for students are important, this event raises serious concerns related to student safety, parental rights, and governance oversight. The materials indicated that parents or guardians were not permitted to attend,” Krause said. “Excluding parents or guardians from a student focused event lacks transparency, and school affiliated joint activities should have supervision standards, background check requirements, and accountability structures. I’m also concerned about a potential conflict of interest involving board of education members serving as guest speakers at this event. They have responsibilities, and participation events targeting students particularly when parental access is restricted warrants careful review to ensure compliance with district policies, ethics guidelines, and public trust obligations.”
