Florida AG vows legal action to protect TPUSA chapters
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier’s newly created Office of Parental Rights announced it will bring legal action against public schools that block Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapters, calling such denials discriminatory. The announcement — posted on X and made alongside Duval County School Board member April Carney — frames the move as protecting students’ rights to organize; the report also notes a nationwide surge in TPUSA chapter requests and Oklahoma Superintendent Ryan Walters’ pledge to place a chapter in every high school.
