Florida Attorney General Threatens Legal Action Over Schools Blocking Turning Point USA Clubs

Duval County is revising sponsor rules following reports of students struggling to start TPUSA chapters.

Overview

  • Attorney General James Uthmeier said his Office of Parental Rights will take legal action against schools that prevent students from forming TPUSA clubs.
  • Uthmeier reported hearing cases across Florida of schools refusing to allow TPUSA chapters but did not name specific districts.
  • Duval County board vice chair April Carney advanced a policy change to permit non‑teacher sponsors, including cleared employees or vetted community members.
  • Turning Point USA says inquiries to start new chapters have topped roughly 120,000 since a memorial for Charlie Kirk, beyond about 900 college and 1,200 high school chapters already in place.
  • TPUSA named Erika Kirk as CEO, positioning the organization for continuity as it pursues rapid club expansion.
