Hi Troy,
It seems that there are two highlights on the example image.
There's the syntax highlighter, which you should be able to switch off by turning the syntax highlighter to "None".
You can do that from the menu, go to "Tools" -> "Highlighting" and select "None".
Second highlighed text is a selected text, where matching text is highlighted in yellow. This is not optional, I think, but you can change colour to something less bright. Go to "Settings" -> "Configure Kate", then to "Fonts & Colours", and your offender is "Search Highlight". Change to your liking, or match with "Text Area" colour to remove it.
Hope this helps.

I'm really liking the kate that comes with kde5, except for one thing.
It comes with "Highlight Selected Text"[1] turned on by default.
It looks like with kde4, this was a plugin that you could turn on and
off, but with kde5, it's builtin, and as far as I can tell, you can't
turn it off.
Does anyone know how to turn this off?
This looks like something I might want once in a while, but having it
on constantly totally throws me off, because the highlighing is very
bright.
