Our Vision
A future education where appreciation of American founding principles is fostered, family values are preserved, and every individual can pursue truth, virtue, beauty, and excellence.
Our Mission
To revive in American education the fundamental discipline of objective thinking by educating, empowering, and engaging students, parents, and community, emphasizing the role of the parent as the primary custodian and authority of their child.
Our Goals
The goals reflect the legal, legislative and civic actions of our movement:
- Restore parental function in public education and elevate the family as a core teaching unit of society.
- Mobilize parents all over the country, in every school and locality to organize and become actively involved in overseeing the education of their children.
- Support parents in their demand for transparency from the schools and in becoming actively involved in overseeing the education of their children.
- Promote school choice so every family in America will be empowered to choose an education option that is appropriate for their children and family.
- Mobilize parents, families, educators, professionals and concerned citizens to push back against the radical indoctrination and injection of political agendas in K-12 education.
- Promote fact-based teaching.
- Support teachers who oppose the coercion to indoctrinate students.
- Challenge the legality of discriminatory teaching and training of students and teachers.
- Demand federal funds be withheld from educational institutions that engage in politicizing public schools and radical indoctrination.
Our Objectives
To accomplish our goals, we will:
- Use all forms of media to expose the radical indoctrination in K-12 education, its perpetrators, the resources and methods employed and the resulting harm it inflicts.
- Inform the public of the No Left turn in Education movement and encourage them to participate.

- Furnish parents, families, community, educators and policy makers with the best available research, strategies and tools to fight harmful indoctrination practices and curricula.
- Ensure the provisioning of counseling and mental health support to students and teachers who have been harmed by a curriculum that promotes guilt, defeatism and victimhood, while exacerbating pessimism and lack of responsibility.

Who We Are
We are a national grassroots movement of common-sense parents and community members from diverse backgrounds, building generational integrity through education free from indoctrination. We are in the process of rebranding as Quest for Academic Excellence, so don’t be surprised if you see us referred to both ways.
We believe that K-12 education should be free from indoctrination and politicization.
Radical teachings motivated by a political agenda and deliberately spread by teachers, administrators, school board members, and even state officials have infiltrated schools across the nation. Unfortunately, all too often words such as diversity, equity, inclusion, social justice, systemic racism, human rights education and health education concealed an aggressive, radical totalitarian ideology. From The 1619 Project, to Critical Race Theory, to Comprehensive Sexuality Education (CSE), the goal is to overturn our society by sowing divisiveness and hate. The social unrest that erupted in May 2020 provided the perfect cover for a complete assault and takeover of our educational system. Aided by the mainstream media, the teachers’ unions, together with an increasing number of educators and administrators have become the true schoolyard bullies, using taxpayer funds to indoctrinate their captive audience – our children.
Parents from all walks of life are waking up to this troubling reality, but until now did not know where to turn to and what to do. They are afraid to speak up and push back. In No Left Turn in Education we believe in restoring the intended relationship between parents and the public education. Congress enshrined these words in creating the Department of Education in 1979: “Parents have the primary responsibility for the education of their children, and States, localities, and private institutions have the primary responsibility for supporting that parental role.” This basic truth has long been part of the fabric of our nation.
