Quisha King, a mother from Florida, advocated for a “mass exodus” from public schools, stating that school administrators had left parents with no alternative option for combating left-wing beliefs.
Her remarks were made at the Family Research Council’s annual Pray Vote Stand Summit during a Thursday panel titled “Nationally Combating Indoctrination.
At this point, I believe that the only solution is a mass exodus from the public education system,” King stated. In response, she got extended ovation, and many in the Lees burg, Virginia audience rose to their feet.
Previously, in June, King garnered national notice for her lecture against critical race theory (CRT). She is a member of Moms for Liberty, a national organisation that opposes CRT and other concepts.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) and others have raised worries that the DOJ is suppressing free expression, citing language in the NSBA’s letter that disparaged anti-CRT efforts.
