Where Kathy stands
Faith, family, and parental rights
Parents are responsible for their children — not the state, and not an outside advocacy group writing the training their teachers sit through.
- HB 1386
- Anti-bias training mandate, 2024
- SB 293
- Mandate extended to school boards, 2025
- Foster parent
- And a former Baltimore City teacher
Kathy taught school before she ran for anything, taught youth Sunday school for years, coached youth sports, and opened her home as a foster parent. She is active in her church. That is the vantage point she brings to every argument about what happens to children in Maryland classrooms.
In 2024 the General Assembly passed HB 1386, mandating anti-bias training for every public school employee. In 2025, SB 293 extended the mandate to school board members. The framework behind Maryland’s guidelines traces back to outside advocacy material rather than anything a Maryland parent voted for.
Kathy’s position is that parents are the first authority in a child’s life, that curriculum and training should be open to the families paying for it, and that religious liberty is not a privilege the state grants when convenient.
“The Southern Poverty Law Center is part of a vast network of NGOs that have been working to entrench their critical race theory/DEI practices into every aspect of society — starting with our public schools.”
What Kathy is fighting for
- Parents decide what is right for their own children
- Open curriculum and staff training to the families who fund it
- Defend religious liberty as a right, not a courtesy
- Keep outside advocacy groups out of Maryland classrooms
