In this episode, Shelly Flockhart shares her powerful journey from small business owner to passionate advocate for parental rights and education reform. As vice chair of Dallas County Moms for Liberty and a mother of four, Shelly has been on the front lines—raising concerns about curriculum, leading prayer vigils at the Capitol, and standing strong for faith and freedom when others stayed silent.

Shelly emphasizes that her advocacy is about supporting teachers, not opposing them. She currently serves on her school district’s teacher recruitment and retention team, working to ensure schools attract and keep quality educators so every child can thrive.
