Overview
- A video from a Feb. 12 Calvert County school board meeting shows a woman identified as Nancy Krause telling officials a CPS report was made regarding a December event for high schoolers.
- The Justice Department’s assistant attorney general for civil rights, Harmeet Dhillon, wrote that she is looking into the matter after the clip circulated online.
- The 17-year-old president of Calvert County Club America said adult access was limited to parents and volunteers due to online harassment and that all attending students had parental permission.
- The student leader denied grooming accusations, emphasized that the club is a separate 501(c)(3) affiliated with TPUSA and not part of the public school system, and noted misinformation about the group.
- Reporting has not established who filed the CPS report or whether CPS or the school district opened any case, as debate continues over supervision, background checks, and board members’ participation as speakers.
