Students propose Turning Point USA chapter; board tables decision for February
Summary
Students proposed a Turning Point USA 'Club America' chapter at Pacific High School to study civics; the board asked questions about outside influence and agreed to table the request for further review at the February meeting.
Students Brianna Huggins and Solomon Feliciano presented a proposal to start a student chapter of Turning Point USA called "Club America," describing it as a student‑led, faculty‑supervised club focused on studying the Constitution and American government.
Faculty advisor Amanda Carlton and student presenters said the club would be nonpartisan and would emphasize civil discourse. Board members questioned recruitment plans, how civil discourse would be maintained, and whether the national organization might exert undue pressure. Board member Carol Hacherl said she had concerns about the founding organization. Angel Ashdown moved and Judy Miles seconded to postpone a decision until the February board meeting; the motion passed unanimously.
The board requested additional information about the organization before taking a vote at the next meeting.
