'We have to pull them out': Florida mom calls for mass exodus of children from woke public school system after 'final straw' of AG Garland threatening to criminalize complaining parents
A Florida mother has called for a 'mass exodus' from the increasingly liberal public school system, saying it is parents' only choice to avoid their kids being indoctrinated with CRT.
Quisha King made the remarks on Thursday night at the Pray Vote Stand Summit, an event by the Family Research Council in Leesburg, Virginia. She was one of many speakers and panelists who spoke on stage about their efforts to squash woke agendas being pushed in schools and the military.
King lives in Jacksonville, Florida, with her three children. The 40-year-old is an outspoken CRT critic who campaigns against it with her activist group, Moms for Liberty. She previously worked as a regional coordinator for the Republican National Committee (RNC) and describes herself as a communications and marketing expert.
She voted Democrat until 2016, when she says she found God and stopped seeing her life purely through the lens of 'being Black'. She started voting Republican afterward.
On Thursday, she said the Biden administration had become so forceful in its fight against conservative families that parents now face the prospect of having the FBI knock on their door while they're making sandwiches for their kids if they disagree with woke school boards.
She was referring to the recent memo by Attorney General Merrick Garland that the FBI must now investigate reports of parents 'threatening' teachers they disagree with.
Garland issued the memo on Monday in a shocking move that had Republicans across the board up in arms. They said it was the worst overreach yet on parents' free speech.
He has since been accused of a conflict of interest because his son-in-law founded an education group that promotes CRT.

It was the final straw for King, who says now the only solution is to 'pull kids out' of schools.
'I really think at this point, the only thing to do is have a mass exodus from the school system. That's it,' she said Thursday night.
She was speaking on a panel called The Battle for America’s Classrooms: Fighting Indoctrination on a National Scale, and had been asked how pervasive CRT was in public schools and what the solution was.
'It is extremely pervasive. I don't think parents realize just how pervasive it is,' King said. 'In Duval County, I found CRT workshops and events as far back as 2011.'
'Understanding that they are not kidding, this is not going away, the enemy has no chill and is advancing forward as fast - we can see it - we're at home trying to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for your kids and the FBI could be knocking at your door because you said the wrong thing at a school board meeting.'
'These people are serious,' she continued. 'They want to silence us and shut us down. I really think at this point, the only thing to do is have a mass exodus from the school system. That's it.'
'I was talking to my Moms for Liberty group this morning and with this FBI thing, it just made me realize, what else are we supposed to do? Standing up to these people doesn't matter,' she said. 'We've been at these school board meetings, we've been voicing our opinions, we're writing articles, emailing teachers, we're doing all that stuff and they don't care.'
King received a standing ovation from the crowd at the summit Thursday night in Leesburg, Virginia, during The Battle for America’s Classrooms: Fighting Indoctrination on a National Scale panel.
'The only thing left to do is to just peace out. I think that will really send the message, when they can't take the money for our child being in their school. It has to be us all doing it together, so maybe after we can all get together and figure out how we do it all at one time so it really sends the message.'
King is a mother of three and an anti-CRT advocate who lives in Jacksonville, Florida
'You do not have the right to indoctrinate our children,' King said. 'They are our children. They were given to us by God and you do not have the right to teach this nonsense.'
'It is infuriating that they think they do have the right to take our tax paying dollars, from our children, and then teach them garbage.'
'They don't even bother to teach math, reading, science, language arts,' she added. 'They're like, let's just give them CRT and teach them how to be little mini Marxists and activists.'
'No thank you, we don't want that,' King fumed.
She went on to ask parents - of which there were hundreds in the audience - to meet with her after the event for them to discuss a logistical plan for pulling their kids out of school.
'That is, that's all I got,' King said. 'That's the only thing left to do, honestly, is just a mass exodus. We've just got to pull them out. It's hard, it's going to be tough but two things I believe we would put our lives on the line for: our faith and our children.'
'This is that moment,' she added. 'This is happening right before our eyes. This is the time. This is the revelation, period. It's happening, this is not a show. I want to go down as standing up for what I believe in and I'm willing to put my life on the line for it.'
Her speech was met with a standing ovation.
