OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Disagree
The law, the Bible, the Torah, and thousands of years of tradition throughout the world define a human life as beginning after a successful birth.
What role should the school serve in helping a student with an unwanted or crisis pregnancy?
Eevery school should make an effort to continue educating the student normally regardless of their pregnancy status.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Disagree
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
The Ten Commandments should be displayed in public school buildings or court houses.
Disagree
At school, students should be able to speak freely and civilly about matters of conscience and faith, including Christianity.
Neutral
Students should be able to speak freely and civilly about all religions.
NATIONAL SECURITY
I support boycott, divestment, and/or sanctions (BDS) against Israel if they refuse to allow the creation of a Palestinian state.
Neutral
It is not up to Israel to allow or deny the creation of a Palestinian state. It is up to the Palestinians.
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Disagree
A strong military is only one aspect of maintaining peace. Diplomacy, trade, and person-to-person relationships are also necessary. Russia has a strong military and it is not maintaining peace anywhere.
EDUCATION
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Disagree
States and local communities already control their education departments. The US Department of Education is, and should continue to be, more of a clearing house for educational research, coordination, outreach, and funding.
I support taxpayer funding of public education from Pre-K through college.
Agree
I support taxpayer funding up to a two-year degree or trade certification from Community Colleges. Private and government-funded four-year universities should still be funded by the individual students.
Abortion and gender-affirming providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Neutral
"The school" is not defined. Certainly universities should make all resources available to their students as needed. K-12 schools are a different matter as the students are underage.
Please list in order the following priorities in relation to the role of a K-12 public school (omitting any that do not apply): American History, Art & Music, Civics, Critical Race Theory, Foreign Language, Gender Identity, Information Technology, Language Arts, Mathematics, Personal Finances, Physical Fitness, Political Activism, Science, Sexuality, Social Emotional Learning, Vocational Learning
Many of these subjects are not appropriate for K-9, but from 10-12 some of the subjects are appropriate for students who might choose them as electives. It is not one-size fits all.
Which should students have: equity of outcomes or equality of opportunities?
Equal opportunities.
VALUES
Children have the right to be protected from sexual grooming including drag shows, explicit materials in schools and libraries, and other public venues.
Neutral
This is a very loaded question. It is up to the parents to protect their children.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Neutral
The government has no business regulating marriage or any other relationship between people.
Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.
Agree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I was raised as a Methodist and sang in the church choir. Essentially I am a naturalist and believe in Mother Nature and Father Time.
If you support the teaching of Sex Ed, please answer the following question: Sexual education should include these topics (list all that apply and add your own, if needed) -- abortion methods and side effects; abstinence; consent; contraceptive methods; human anatomy/the reproductive system; physical and emotional health outcomes; sex acts and pleasures of sex; sexual orientation and gender identity; stages of pregnancy and fetal development
All of the above, when the students have reached puberty and with their parents consent.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
Photo ID's are required when registering to vote. After that, your registration card or matching signature are sufficient. In small precincts, everyone knows each other so it is a moot point.
EQUALITY
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.
Neutral
"Biological" is poorly defined in medicine and law. Ones biological condition can change, and intersex people are not entirely male or female but have traits of both.
ABOUT YOU
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
No
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
No
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Moderate
2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
Restrictions in place may be sufficient if they are properly enforced, which they are not.
