About Tamara
EDUCATION ADVOCACY

Tamara became an Education Activist 22 years ago when she discovered the biased teachings her children were receiving in their public school district. She took it upon herself to supplement their education with balanced and accurate material while incorporating incredible summer courses. Tamara’s son Andrew graduated from the University of Michigan a few years ago with a Master’s in Biomedical Engineering.  Her daughter Kaleigh graduated from the University of Michigan’s Honors College a couple years ago with a degree in Neuroscience. 

Her local advocacy to stop biased teachings and to return truth and excellence to academics in local public schools included:   

  • Northville school district – In school volunteer for 16 years; worked with educators to ensure the curriculum was excellent and proper. Worked with school leadership to rid the schools of several inaccurate and inappropriate books.   K-12 students must be presented with accurate materials that are developmentally appropriate.
  • Plymouth-Canton school district – Worked with parents and students there to eliminate biased history books and other supplemental materials.
  • Became a speaker and mentor to parents in districts across Michigan.  She helps them get their children’s academic needs met and rid the schools of inaccurate and inappropriate materials.
Her expertise continued to grow as she worked on state level issues, such as:
  • She fought Common Core for years, published articles about it and spoke about it all over the state.  As she was warning parents that Common Core would destroy academic results in Michigan, increase data collection on our children, bring in more leftist indoctrination, etc. she co-authored a bill to get Michigan out of Common Core.  It was voted “best in nation” bill by national conservative education experts.  We still have Common Core in Michigan despite Tamara getting thousands of people to complain about it and testify against it in Lansing for two years.  The academic results of our students have tanked across the board, our children are being data mined and indoctrinated, just as Tamara warned.  She has great discernment and that is what we need on the Board; not people that use our children as guinea pigs and listen to special interests.
  • Tamara went on to fight, for five years, the social studies and science standards that came next.  They were not called Common Core, because that name was toxic by then, but they most certainly are Common Core aligned, complete with the data tags, poor quality, etc.  They passed despite Tamara getting thousands of Michigan citizens to tell Lansing NO!  They too have proven to tank academic performance in Michigan.  The list is long in terms of what is bad about these “standards” but, top level, the science standards teach some theory as fact, are short on facts and they have gotten rid of the scientific method.  Unreal!  The social studies “standards” are full of social justice and false information about America and her history.
  • Tamara goes around the state and teaches people about what is going wrong in our schools, what people can do about it and how to run for local school board.  She also teaches on Critical Race Theory.
Tamara is now a national, state and local education expert and activist with 22 solid years of experience.  She knows more about education than those with degrees in the field that call themselves “the experts”.  The experts are giving us failure and worse and Tamara wants to step in to help the children, the state and the country.  Here is some of her involvement at the national level:
  • She is a member of United States Parents involved in Education, and a founding board member of the Michigan Chapter: MI PIE.  That organization has published a blueprint to get our nation out from under the US Department of Education.  This unconstitutional federal department has spent trillions of our hard-earned dollars and has given us worse results in education in America.
  • Edited & endorsed “Changing the Course of Failure: How Schools & Parents Can Help Low-Achieving Students” authored by Dr. Sandra Stotsky – national education expert, developer of MA miracle standards, & former member of the MA Department of Education.
  • She is an active member of the national network of education experts, Truth in American Education.  She created a Critical Race Theory sub-group in this network.  TAE members communicate daily about what is going on in education across America, and they work to improve education nationally and in each state.  Tamara has relationships with the best conservative minds in education in America in this group, which is an excellent resource for her work.

My Mission

As a principled patriot with a proven passion for educating and for education, Tamara has been called to use her extensive expertise in education to get our schools back to providing a truthful and excellent education for every child.  As a Daughter of the American Revolution, a cousin of a former U.S. Border Patrol Chief, a Mom and a citizen of our great country, Tamara will be a servant leader in this capacity to reclaim our great nation from the grips of progressivism.
