That group was formerly known as the Future Homemakers of America. That’s really all I know about them.

My take: half sounds good the other half is progressive bull crap. By the way, there once was a line of thought that Home Economics was a bunch a liberal mumbo jumbo and that any real mom would teach her daughter correctly.
My discovery of this and discussions with community members (with kids in the school) has started a rasher of crap and 14 families are committed to pulling their kids out next year and cyber schooling
Seems the club meets once a month for a half hour and a teacher is a paid monitor (watch, don't interfere ... supposedly)
ANYthing that has to do with a student "club" is suspect in my opinion.
Now, as a disclaimer ... I'm not saying the FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America) is bad or good .... just ... watch and research.
democrat / enemies are good at having patriotic and American sounding titles for subversive organizations
BTW ... if you go to the GSA site, you'll see it's nothing more than a political action committee/group/information board
My daughters have been in it. It has been a great experience for them. They’ve placed at state for their presentations. My one daughter is currently doing a presentation on abortion (i.e., pro-life). I warned her she will have critics, and to be prepared, but she’s been encouraged by those in charge, so it’s been a good thing.
I can’t speak for other schools or other districts. Here in Southern Virginia it is a solid organization. They have competitions at the local, state, and National level. They involve developing budgets, Job seeking/ Resume making, current domestic issues such as taxes and mortgages. They work with the kids on developing good eating habits and label awareness. In our district they beat the hell out of that kids need two parents, one of each gender.
But my local high school is rural, mostly Republican with a libertarian bent. Our school has a trap shooting team--the horrors! Their picture is in the yearbook holding guns. The horrors!
At least in my area, I would have no problem if my son joined the local group of FCCLA.
