Speaking to , Owens said: "Parents have to start speaking out, not just speaking out, but suing.
"You have to start suing the schools because they're ruining the lives of young children."
She added: "This thought process that we keep seeing that conservatives are not allowed to exist, that being conservative is backwards and it's wrong, and especially when it comes to the education system taking part in this, right?
"Smearing and libelling their own students, these students having to transfer out of schools.
"This is systematic bullying that's happening, but worse than that, it's propagandist."
She was joined by conservative activist and radio talk show host Charlie Kirk, who added: "Where are the adults that are going to start to stand up and realize that the next generation that's standing up for freedom in our country is worthy of protection, in this situation?
"It takes courage to be a young conservative. It's time for adults to start to protect young people's right to organize and speak their mind."

Owens said in response: "This young girl picked me, a black person, for Black History Month, and she was accused of being a racist.
"I mean, that is so twisted and perverted and wrong. It would be funny if it wasn't so cruel that led to her actually having to transfer out of this school. This is a problem."
She went on to accuse universities and colleges of "social engineering".
'WRONG AND BACKWARDS'
The 31-year-old said: "What is taking place throughout the universities and colleges and schools is a form of social engineering.
"They are taking your children, undermining parents at every single point in the purpose because they want to turn the children into government activists.
"They want to grow government and depend on government they don't want them to turn to mom and dad for answers, they want them to think mom and dad are wrong and backwards and racist.
"They are handing out meaningless degrees, degrees in gender studies."
Guttmann's decision to take his daughter out of school was announced on the same day Dalton School's headmaster resigned over controversial race-based curriculum and policies.
Jim Best announced he was leaving to pursue "other exciting and inspiring opportunities" after months of controversy.
In December, parents pulled their kids from the ultra-exclusive private school after an "anti-racism manifesto" was imposed.
