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.
As with anything a lot will depend on the type of person who runs the club. the club sponsor at the high school I teach at is a conservative christian who I wouldn't be surprised to find on this forum, our club is great.
The last sponsor left a couple of years ago which was also great; she was an 0bamatron who had a Hillary 2016 sticker on her car right after the 2012 election.
