A social conservative, Maguire co-founded of South Carolina Parents Involved in Education, a group that promotes abstinence-only sex education, private school vouchers and a curriculum teaching intelligent design.[2] Board of Education careerMaguire was initially appointed to the state Board of Education by the Pickens County Legislative Delegation in 1999 and reappointed by Governor Mark Sanford in 2004.[3] In 2000, as a member of the state board, Maguire challenged the state's newly proposed sex education standards for insufficient emphasis on abstinence. She specifically objected to the possibility of teaching oral or anal intercourse as alternatives to sexual intercourse, in violation of a 1988 state law forbidding the teaching of such practices.[4] Maguire was elected to the position of Board of Education chairwoman in 2008 by a 9–7 vote of that board.[5] At the time, she was believed to be the only homeschooler in the United States overseeing a state board charged with managing and improving public education.[3] Maguire resigned her position on the board in late August 2009 citing "family responsibilities".[6] See also{{Portal|Biography}}
