Dispute Over Student Attendance at Turning Point USA Event in Idaho School
A dispute arose over a Turning Point USA event at Nampa Christian School in Idaho featuring Erika Kirk. Candace Owens criticized the event as a mandatory school assembly during the day, claiming students were not informed they could opt out and parents were excluded. TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet countered that parents were notified, students could opt out, and three did so, while over 500 attended voluntarily. The disagreement centers on whether the event was a voluntary Club America meeting or a compulsory school assembly.
