If you do have a TPUSA it is called Club America. Here are some talking points for parents.

The club is called CLUB AMERICA. we are currently running an awareness campaign. Visit this link to review remarks that you can say to your school board! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

There is a group which monitors and actively opposes the idea of Club America in the public schools: @defenseofdemocracy.bsky.social Club America is a child of the TPUSA. There are suggestions that instead of being true student-run clubs, Club America is actually run by TPUSA. Keep 'em out!
