Maryland Karen Reports Kids Who Went to TPUSA Event to Child Protective Services

Videos of crazy Karens abound on social media.

They harass cops, public officials, store managers, and just plain innocent bystanders out for a jog or walk with the dog. They are frequently the gauleiters of homeowners associations who measure the height of lawns or tidiness of the shrubs.

But, alas, the craziest Karen yet might have surfaced in Calvert County, Maryland. An earnest lady named Nancy Krause informed the school board there that school kids who went to a Turning Point USA event had been reported to Child Protective Services.

False Impression

A retired nurse, Krause unspooled a short spiel about TPUSA after a student with Calvert County Club America (CCCA), which is affiliated with the organization founded by Charlie Kirk, spoke to the board members. The student president of the group was there, apparently to address the board’s concerns about a December 17 event that included two board members, as the Daily Caller reported.

Leftist Krause was apparently concerned that board members might associate with Kirk followers, a quibble that surfaced after the CCCA president spoke.

“Good evening, y’all. I’m a student in Calvert County Public Schools, and also the president of Calvert County Club America, which is affiliated with [a] Turning Point USA chapter,” the student said:

It’s not affiliated with the Calvert County Public Schools. It is separate, and not politically involved in a partisan manner, and we cannot endorse any candidates nor parties. 

The students said board members were invited to the event to explain what they do and talk about other mundane subjects.

“All students that were there were in attendance with parental permission, and all publicly advertised,” the CCCA chief said “However, we received much hate, and we posted online that we would not be allowing any adults that are not volunteers nor parents.”

While affiliated with TPUSA, the group is its own 501(c)(3) organization, and, again, not part of the school system.

The CCCA’s Defense

As well, the student said, “we have been accused of many things. We have been accused of grooming children … an allegation that a random unnamed man was president of our group and had certain felony charges.”

That should have given Krause the Karen pause. Alas and alack, like the Blues Brothers, she was on a mission from God. Krause ignored the CCCA’s president’s important note that the kids had their parents’ permission to attend the function.

“In December of 2025, Turning Point USA hosted an event marketed to high school students, with food and beverages advertised as an incentive for attendance,” she said after burbling something about “anti-racism”:

While community-building opportunities for students are important, this event raises serious concerns related to student safety, parental rights, and governance oversight, and that materials indicated that adults, including parents and legal guardians, were not permitted to attend, and that supervision would be provided by unnamed volunteers.

Excluding parents and guardians from a student-focused event creates a lack of transparency and undermines established best practices for youth safety. School-affiliated or school-adjacent activity should adhere to clear supervision standards, background-check requirements, and defined accountability structures. 

Krause claimed that board members who spoke at the event had a “potential conflict of interest” and that restricting the access of parents warranted “careful review” to ensure the event did not violate school-district policies and ethics guidelines.

“Students are widely recognized as [a] vulnerable population,” Krause continued:

They are in critical developmental stages, and especially susceptible to influence. For this reason, safe-party measures, parental environment, and transparency are essential. All board of education members in this room are mandated reporters under state law, as I am. Based on the circumstances surrounding this event, a report was made to child protective services. 

Again, students at the non-school-affiliated event had parents’ permission to attend, and though Krause said “a report was made to child protective services,” the person who reported was clear. It was Krause, a “mandated reporter.”

Reaction 

Mark Fisher, a member of Maryland’s House of Delegates representing District 27C in Calvert County, fumed on X that Krause wants to silence conservatives.

“TPUSA high-school chapters (Club America) are student-led groups focused on entrepreneurship, limited government & traditional American values,” he wrote:

But, that didn’t stop Ms. Krause from labeling participation “abuse” because she views normal conservative ideas as inherently harmful. Her level of fanaticism used to be fringe — but has become all too common with the ‘Left’.

Let’s be clear:  This isn’t about protecting kids — it’s about silencing conservative voices.

Fisher urged readers to share the video of Krause to “protect the next generation from ideological bullying.”

“Turning Point is the [single] most attacked independent organization in America,” TPUSA’s chief operating officer, Tyler Bowyer, wrote:

We’ve had the government weaponized against us, radicals try to villainize us, all kinds of disgusting name calling since Charlie was murdered. 

We know it’s because our work is so impactful.

As for Krause and other far-left Karens, one X user replied to Fisher’s post with a partial line from George Orwell’s 1984:

It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.

Krause isn’t a young one, but she clearly fits the rest of Orwell’s warning.
