The first day of nursery school for Laura McQueen’s son, Leon, ended his career in public education for good.

Leon, who is autistic and was non-verbal at the time, walked into the classroom that first day and felt a growing anxiety, his mom says. “He just didn’t like the environment at all,” she told The Epoch Times, speaking of the rigid layout of the desks and general air of conformity. “I knew that wasn’t right for my child.”
