The Independent reports Calvert County Child protective services called after parents express concerns about high school’s Turning Point USA event

A Turning Point USA event for Maryland high schoolers was reported to child protective services after parents expressed “serious concern” about their children’s safety at the meeting.

A parent, identified only as “Nancy,” told attendees at a Calvert County school board meeting on February 12 that kids had been put at risk because adults were not allowed to attend the event.

However, the 17-year-old president of Calvert County Club America, which is associated with TPUSA, said that some adult attendance would still be permitted. This attendance was limited to parents and volunteers only due to the “hate” the group had received online.

“We have been accused of many things,” the unnamed president said, explaining the decision. “We have been accused of grooming children - an allegation that a random, unnamed man was president of our group and had certain felony charges. “I'm the president of the group,” he continued. “I'm 17, I'm a minor.

At the hearing earlier this month, Nancy maintained that she still believed the event was not safe. Before revealing that CPS had been contacted, she said that the event “raises serious concerns related to student safety, parental rights and governance oversight.”

"Excluding parents and guardians from a student-focused event creates a lack of transparency and undermines established best practices for youth safety,” she continued. "Students are widely recognized as a vulnerable population, they are in critical developmental stages, and especially susceptible to influence.”

Calvert County is a slightly purplish red county not all that far from the blue strongholds of Washington DC and as the crow flies. Many of our residents commute up the road everyday. I'm not shocked that some Karen that hates Trump and Charlie Kirk would try to stop this, but calling CPS because high school students are forming a TPUSA chapter?  That's just weird
