Parents protest school assembly celebrating America's 250th birthday at California middle school
Canyon Hills Junior High School in Southern California held an assembly called "History Rocks 250" focused on American history and the nation's founding ahead of the 2026 bicentennial. Left-wing parents protested outside the school before the event, citing concerns about ties to conservative organizations like Turning Point USA and The Heritage Foundation, and some kept their children home.
