I think it should mention somewhere that she was a member of the Wheather Underground Organization
While the above assertions were correct at the time they were written, they no longer reflect the much longer article as it stands today. Larry Koenigsberg ( talk) 17:16, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

The article needs more sources and better sources. I have tagged it accordingly. SunCrow ( talk)
Hate to be a bother, but I tend to be one of those readers that like to look at source material and obviously this page is fraught with issues, what with all the 'citations needed' and what not. That isn't the direct issue.
I went to look up one of the sources about the adoptive parents (I was curious about what happened after Kathy was arrested and she had to give up her child) and it led me to the "No tears for dead cops" article. The first line is, and I quote, "Being the child of left-wing domestic terrorists means never having to say you're sorry."
The entire article is a very obvious jab at the son of Kathy Boudin, who I don't know, I live in the UK. I realise it does, in a round about way mention the adoptive parents near the bottom of the article, it's also filled with a lot of very subjective, almost angry rhetoric. Especially as it tells the story of the robbery, which is not told very well here in the wiki article considering there is very little citations to back up most of the claims. Example:
"They're the 1960s group of rich-kid radicals who bombed government buildings and corporate headquarters, aided convicted felons in jail breaks, and participated in a 1981 Brinks' armored car holdup in Nyack, N.Y., that took the lives of three innocent Americans in the name of "peace.""
Or
"Two of the holdup victims gunned down in the botched Brinks' robbery were police officers. One was a private security guard. All three were veterans from working-class backgrounds. Neither the Times nor any other media outlet that has breathlessly reported on Boudin's Rhodes scholarship win has even seen fit to print the names of the Nyack victims: Waverly Brown, Edward O'Grady, and Peter Paige."
This article is definitely taking a stance against Chesa Boudin, and that's fine, whatever. However, to actually get to the information about Boudin's adoptive parents you have to go through all of that which we can't verify because it's on a news website that has very little information about it. And Michelle Malkin does have a reputation as being partisan, I don't think we can deny that, even I've heard of her in the UK.
So I found you this link, it mentions his parents, and the adoptive parents, even their crimes and the entire situations, and I will admit is a glowing review of him as a rhodes scholar (I don't know when it was written I'm afraid) but is at least not written by him (so it's not 'here's my incredibly hard life') and not written by someone who works for Fox News who may have a bit of a issue with a running democrat?

Anyway, sorry again to be a bother, hope this will make it into consideration. I dreadfully hate going to read an article and finding something so very partisan, either way, as you can imagine. Cheers.
Thanks for expressing your desire for a more neutral POV; I am sorry that the commenter, below, does not seem to recognize or accept that principle, nor do they –and this is the more salient comment—seem to recognize that 'opinion" blogs are not the same as news sources.

IT is not a sign of immoderate prejudice for an article about a convicted murderer to contain a bit of anger, in my humble opinion. 70.127.17.241 ( talk) 19:06, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

She died. It was reported in RS's. She died on May 1, 2022. It should be mentioned in the article. Also, good riddance to her. Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 03:36, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

Topcat1066, I started this section for you to convince others that your lead changes are warranted. Can you meet the threshold of

If TopCat is blocked, why is the latest/current edit on the article theirs? PDGPA ( talk) 18:36, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
@ GhostInTheMachine edited my prior Short Description from "American radical activist and college prof." to "American activist and robber (1943-2022)." I can see and agree that "college prof" (Boudin's final activity for many years) is not her most notable, but "robber" is really not accurate. I'm not sure what word or two would elaborate on "radical activist" (if any is needed in the short description) to capture the key facts, which would seem to be her role as a founder and longest-standing participant in the Weather Underground, ending with her ancillary role in the tragic Brink's armored truck robbery-fiasco. But her most notable activity is not best captured as "robber," it seems to me. PDGPA ( talk) 19:19, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
