Quisha King, a Florida mom, who recently spoke out against critical race theory being thought in public schools received prolonged applause and a standing ovation at a Leesburg, Virginia event where she called for a “mass exodus” from the public school system.
“I really think at this point the only thing to do is have a mass exodus from the public school system – that’s it,” King said. She previously drew national attention in June for her speech opposing critical race theory (CRT). She works with the group Moms for Liberty, which is one of many battling CRT and other ideas across the nation.
“CRT is deeper and more dangerous than that. CRT and its outworking today is a teaching that there’s a hierarchy in a society where white male, heterosexual, able-bodied people are deemed the oppressor and anyone else outside of that status is oppressed,” King said in June.

In her recent Virginia speech, King said, “Standing up to these people doesn’t seem to matter. I mean, we have – all of us – we’ve been at these school board meetings, we’ve been voicing our opinions, we’re writing articles, we’re emailing teachers – we’re doing all that stuff. And they don’t care. I’m like the only thing left to do is to just peace out.”
Her comments came amid an uproar over the Justice Department’s announcement that the FBI would investigate potential violence at school board meetings.
Former Acting Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights John Daukas told Fox News: “While the DOJ has an obligation to ensure that any applicable federal laws concerning violence against public officials are not violated, it must not do so in a fashion that chills the free speech rights of concerned parents.”
“Parents have the Constitutional right to petition their government officials in order to protect their children from what parents believe are harmful health measures or biased teaching.”
