The public deserves a State Board member who will be a voice for securing children’s innocence, parents’ preeminence, and Constitutional rights, anywhere and everywhere, but especially in our local schools.
As a lifelong Republican, I’ve always stood for conservative, family-first principles and I’ve lobbied state and national delegates for desperately needed protections for school children.
My work has taken me to the United Nations on several occasions, where I learned firsthand of the global agenda to radically transform the education system by replacing objective academics with subjective social & emotional conditioning; by turning schools into workforce pipelines and full-service social welfare centers; by infiltrating local schools with dangerous ideologies; by intentionally sexualizing and confusing children about biological reality; by exploiting children for power, profit, and pleasure; and by promoting global and digital citizenship over state and national sovereignty.
I will continue to be a voice for families and teachers that feel unheard. I will promote policies that safeguard religious freedom & rights of conscience in the classroom, protect the all-encompassing role of parents in the lives of their children, and I will fight to rein in and limit the education system's proper role of instructing students in foundational academics.- Protecting Children's Innocence & Rights of Conscience in the Classroom
- Providing System Transparency and Accountability to Parents
- Prioritizing Foundational Academics First
There is an all out war on the family and on children and the education system is hurting, not helping the situation. We are losing far too many children to this diabolical cultural revolution of Environmental Social Governance; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion; Gender Ideology; and Social & Emotional "cultural competencies."
The schools are losing kids, but even more devastatingly, parents are losing their own children to these destructive ideologies, behaviors, and life choices that are causing children irreversible damage and alienation from those that love and care about them most.
Our children desperately need rescuing. We need a school system that honors and protects the sacred bond between parent and child; a system free from unnecessary distractions and that helps get children out of the cultural flood waters and to the safety of higher ground; a system that focuses students on the simple art of learning foundational academics that inspire them towards goodness, the ability to self-govern, to own their own minds, to decide their own futures, and to more fully enjoy and preserve the blessings of freedom and liberty for themselves and future generations.
"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself."
Ensuring that the public school system protects and respects the fundamental role of the family and the fundamental liberties of the children entrusted to it.
Ensuring system transparency and accountability to parents.

I understand the law-making process in Utah and have worked to strengthen data privacy laws, religious freedom, and laws protecting families from unnecessary government intrusion into the home - such as early childhood home visits. I am currently working with legislatures on a law to protect students from porn on school and library computer databases that promote themselves as being safe but have been caught uploading all kinds of explicit content.
I am excited to take on the challenge of representing local families and supporting local educators. My time on the state school board will be spent listening to the needs of my constituents, unlike my opponent who is aligning with special interest groups and will be working to promote their agendas. Please vote Natalie J Cline to help restore freedom in education and a more hope-filled future for our children- I will fight for - TRUE Local Control of Curriculum, Assessments, and Spending; Strong Supports for Educators; Parental Voice and Choice in their Children's Education; & Parents and Teachers Deciding Together what is BEST for the Child
- I will fight to - Protect the Innocence of Youth, their Mental Health, and Data Privacy
- I will fight to - Restore Freedom in Education! NO... Anti-American Curriculum, Political Indoctrination, or Sexualized Lesson Plans
We must return to teaching the principles of freedom that made our country great and restore within our students a love for America!
