Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will attend a Houston event in support of Stratford High School students who faced backlash after trying to form a Club America group under Turning Point USA. Private conversations and potential sponsorships tied to the group were shared on social media, drawing public attention, according to the Office of the Texas Attorney General.
Screenshots from a private group chat about the new Club America chapter surfaced online, sparking a campaign that pressured potential sponsors to withdraw support. In response, Paxton announced his participation in an upcoming event supporting the students. “The far-left tried to silence these patriotic young Texans, but we will never surrender. In honor of Charlie, we will be bolder and more courageous than ever,” Paxton said in a release, as reported by the Office of the Texas Attorney General.
An event is scheduled on Wednesday at the La Scala Ballroom of The Moran Hotel at CITYCENTRE. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m., and the program will start at 7:30 p.m. The event is open to the public, with students given priority for attendance. Paxton is expected to speak about values he says should guide the nation’s youth and the defense of freedoms. “Getting involved in the battle for the future of this country has never been more important, and it’s an honor to join these brave students as they do just that,” Paxton said in the announcement, as stated by the Office of the Texas Attorney General.
