Eliana Lewis, a student at Lee's Summit North High School, told the Lee's Summit R-VII Board of Education she is concerned that a new Club America chapter at her school is affiliated with Turning Point USA. "The legacy that they want to honor is carried by racist, homophobic, and misogynistic human," she said, asking the board what can be done to ensure the club "isn't honoring a man who believed people like me and others who don't look like him don't belong."

Brandon True Love, a junior at Lee's Summit North and president of the school's Black Student Union, echoed those concerns and cited earlier controversy when Club America was initiated at Lee's Summit West in 2022. He said the club's reported national rhetoric and leadership remarks raise worries for minority students on campus, quoting a cited remark: "if I see a black pilot, I'm going to be like, boy, I hope he's qualified," to illustrate why the organization is troubling to some in the school community.

Board procedures limited public comment to three minutes and included a reminder that "the board does not respond to public comment during the meeting, but may ask clarifying questions." The comments were recorded and, per board practice, will be noted by the administration and the board for possible follow-up. The transcript does not record any immediate board directive, investigation, or vote related to the students' requests.

District policy BDDH — which governs public comment procedures and limits on subject matter during meetings — was read aloud before the speakers and frames how the board may handle or follow up on these remarks. The students asked the board to clarify what safeguards, oversight, or conditions the district will use to ensure clubs operating in the schools align with district commitments to non-discrimination and student belonging. The transcript contains no record of staff presenting an interpretation of club-recognition rules, an investigation timeline, or any staff response during the meeting.
