National Speaker, Expert Witness on Privacy and Data Trafficking, Education Consultant HIGHLIGHTS:
• Filed and won a federal complaint against the Pennsylvania Department of Education for developing, researching, and testing of attitudes, values, and dispositions in the Pennsylvania Educational Quality Assessment (EQA). Basic Education Circular 8-90 (Psychological and Psychiatric testing, assessment, treatment and intervention) revealed that these abusive and experimental programs were being used in every school across the state of Pennsylvania.
• The EQA violated federal law, the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment (PPRA). The federal PPRA was used to resolve my complaint against the Pennsylvania State Dept. of Education. My complaint resulted in a policy being put in place to protect children and families from abusive and experimental programs at schools. (BEC 8-90)

BACKGROUND
In 1990, I filed and won a federal investigation against the Pennsylvania Department of Education. This victory, accomplished due to filing a federal complaint against the Educational Quality Assessment, EQA, and the U.S. Department of Education's National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) under the federal Protection of Pupils Rights Amendment, forced the Pennsylvania EQA to be withdrawn. The resolution of this case forced the US Department of Education to do their job to investigate the psychological testing of children without informed written parental consent. However, the NAEP itself was never investigated, although documents had proven that NAEP did experimental research and used different states to pilot its agenda by embedding NAEP test items/questions into the Pennsylvania EQA as well as into other state assessments.
I was an invited speaker and lectured all over the Unites States in the nineteen nineties exposing illegal and controversial testing, curriculum, and collection of data by our government. Arranged and lectured at town hall meetings all across the state of Pennsylvania at which I urged the withdrawal of affective student learning outcomes and the removal of Outcome Based Education. In January of 1992, parents in Pennsylvania won the battle against OBE when the Independent Regulatory Review Board requested that the State Board of Education remove all outcomes which dealt with attitudes, habits, traits, feelings, values, and opinions which are subjective and difficult to measure; and that the remaining outcomes be defined and coordinated with academic requirements that can be measured. The battle continues.
My husband and I own an investment/wealth management firm south of Pittsburgh, PA. We have three adult children and two grandchildren. My son, for whom I filed my original Protection of Pupils Rights Amendment complaint is a PhD scientist that remembers every word of the Pennsylvania EQA.
