The public is invited to the first Turning Point USA event in Barre, scheduled for Friday, Jan. 9, at the Canadian Club.
The event is being organized by Seth Fewer, a freshman at Spaulding High School, who has been working to establish a Turning Point USA presence in the Barre area. An effort to start an official Turning Point USA chapter at Spaulding High School was unsuccessful after none of the eight teachers approached agreed to serve as a faculty sponsor, a requirement for school-based clubs.
Despite that setback, Fewer said the organizing effort has continued outside the school setting. Instead of a school club, the group has formed what it calls a Turning Point USA “activism hub,” which operates independently of Spaulding High School.
“We switched over to what is called an ‘activism hub’ because we asked eight teachers who all said no,” Fewer said. “The activism hub is the same thing — it’s just not for school.”
The event is open to the public, but organizers are asking attendees to RSVP in advance.
Speakers include Fewer, co-organizer and fellow Spaulding freshman Javion Kastner, Vermont Chair Paul Dame, and Renee McEvilly, the Upstate Field Representative of Club America, affiliated with TPUSA. Others – including Barre native Gov. Ph8l Scott – have been invited.
In a message inviting community members to attend, Fewer said the Jan. 9 event will feature several speakers, free food, photo opportunities and the presentation of an award. The event is scheduled to run from 5 to 7 p.m.
Turning Point USA is a national conservative youth organization that focuses on political activism and outreach, particularly among high school and college students.

The Charlie Kirk drama is still in my mind and waiting for the trial of the shooter that used a 3006 rifle. The media will never touch this story again.
No suprise 100% of vermont teachers asked to sponser a Christian conservative student group said no.
Those teachers should start a chapter of Teachers Who Can’t Teach. Whereas the students interested in TPUSA will easily eclipse them in life someday.
……..asked eight teachers who all said “no”……. who do these Commies think they are?? Oh yeah, Communists.
“No” on WHAT basis? This is blatant bias & discrimination! This is violation of Constitutional rights of Freedom of Religion & Freedom of Assembly!!!
WHY are these teachers supposedly acting in loc parentis not being disciplined?? Oh yeah, Communism.
I hope & trust these student’s families will locate & contact a legal organization which takes on cases involving civil rights of students to bring action, attention, and remedy to these youngsters and others like them.
Apparently the eight supposed teachers these courageous & tenacious young people spoke to were too busy hiding the files of severely emotionally troubled students who don’t understand the permanency of their birth sex and those “teachers” were instead busy as bees in attaining them dangerous drugs & encouraging amputations in order to “help” them.
Yet a “Turning Point” club that espouses love of God, understanding of Biblical truths, and patriotism is off limits!!!!!!!
Vermont is a very sick place wherein evil has overtaken Godliness in certain environments where the most damage can be wrought!
