Concerned Parent to Effective Advocate: A Legal Roadmap to Public Schools
KIM HERMANN, President of Southeastern Legal Foundation and erry Wachter, President of the Massapequa Board of Education speak at our 2026 Joyful Warriors National Summit in Dallas!
Kim and the team at SLF have been incredible partners in the fight to Save America’s Schools and defend parental rights. Most notably, SLF represented Moms for Liberty in the landmark courtroom victory that stopped the Biden Administration’s Title IX changes from being implemented nationwide.
For nearly 50 years, Southeastern Legal Foundation has fought government overreach and defended constitutional liberty — and they continue to stand alongside parents in some of the biggest battles facing our families and schools.
Kerry has been on the front lines of some of New York’s biggest education battles involving local control, parental rights, girls’ sports, and state education policy. She is also a plaintiff in an ongoing federal case challenging New York state guidance concerning speech at school board meetings.
For Kerry, meaningful education reform requires exactly what this year’s Summit is about: boots on the ground — informed parents, engaged communities, and locally elected leaders willing to get involved.
