Well, it wouldn't be a... day without some fresh leftist outrage. The latest comes to us from Maryland, where a high school student group affiliated with the late Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA (TPUSA) is having problems - including a naggy Karen calling Child Protective Services on them over imagined malfeasances.

A student group affiliated with Turning Point USA is facing criticism for hosting an event at a Maryland high school in December, with one woman saying that Child Protective Services had been notified.

A local community member, who was identified as Nancy, expressed "serious concern" about the December TPUSA-affiliated event at a February 12 board meeting. The woman spoke after a student from the high school who serves as president of the Calvert County Club America.

That student said his group placed restrictions on the event after receiving "hate" online, including restricting access for adults they did not know who were not volunteers or parents of attendees. He also stated that all students who attended had parental permission.

OK, so it's a Nancy, not a Karen. Whatever. The kids seem to have acted responsibly, after an outpouring of hate, they restricted people they didn't know from attending their event, and they required all minor attendees to have parental permission. But that didn't stop detractors from heaping up the horse squeeze. The young president of the group 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. I'm the president of the group. I'm 17, I'm a minor. I can't groom children because I am a child. I don't have any felony charges or convictions," the student said, adding an invitation to discuss any questions.

All of these accusations are the purest of corral litter, of course, but that didn't stop Karen, er, Nancy from speaking up - and she played the Child Protective Services card.

Nancy spoke next, raising her issues with the TPUSA event. 

"While community building opportunities for students are important, this event raises serious concerns related to student safety, parental rights and governance oversight," the woman stated, claiming that parents and legal guardians were not permitted to attend the event.

"Excluding parents and guardians from a student-focused event creates a lack of transparency and undermines established best practices for youth safety," she continued, going on to say that such events should be subject to supervision and background checks.

"Students are widely recognized as vulnerable population, they are in critical developmental stages, and especially susceptible to influence," she added.

"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," the woman added as she concluded her remarks.

Nancy, as we may well have predicted, puts forth a load of the stuff one finds under the south end of a northbound horse.

Look, anyone is free to disagree with anyone else's opinion on any given issue, even obvious ignoramuses like "Nancy." But the call to Child Protective Services is nothing more than harassment and intimidation. People can debate; that's what Charlie Kirk did. He didn't talk to people; he talked with people, and that's a key distinction, one that is all too often lost on the left. 

So why the harassment? Why the intimidation, or at least, the attempts at intimidation? (I suspect these kids aren't easily intimidated.) Because the left can't argue on facts. They can't argue on reason. If they try, they lose. Also, the left sophomorically thinks they have some moral high ground. 

There's an old saying, attributed to many people, including the late Dr. Charles Krauthammer and William F. Buckley, that states, "Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil." That bears tremendous import; the right tends to see the left as vapid, shallow, and ill-informed, and that's because they so frequently are, but liberals who aren't actually brain-damaged may yet be amenable to learning.

But the left, seeing the right as evil, tosses all restraint aside. No tactic is too harsh. No false accusations are too great. Anyone they disagree with must be silenced.

That seems to be how "Nancy" is operating. She may not be the one who actually called Child Protective Services to lie about an innocent student group, but she sure as all get-out is approving of the act.
