. As an SBOE member, I chose to vote against each of the curriculums that were presented for Health and Human Sexuality to SBOE for adoption. My public remarks related to my vote were based on the Texas law requirement that: SHACs assist the districts in ensuring that local community values are reflected in health education instruction. Abstinence from sexual activity is the only method that will guarantee 100% prevention from pregnancy.

If the pregnancy is the result of incest or rape with an additional punishment to the offender of castration. Psalm 127:3 - Children are a heritage from the LORD, offspring a reward from him.

Strongly Disagree

I believe that every American deserves the right to own, invest, build, and prosper. Free market policies allow for economic growth and an increase in job sustainability.

A strong educational system imbedded with school choice (charters are public and funded with government money) is the foundation of a strong nation. Educational career and college choice will give parents and students the environment they need to succeed.

Neutral

The government is not who decides - God's view of marriage is the divine plan for sexual relationships, to secure stable families and committed parents and spouses. Society is better off if we follow HIS word and make family, marriage, and children the priority.

Freely no, Civilly, yes. 2 Timothy 2:24-26 24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.

Student growth measurements are important, however, I am not in favor giving the government a greater say in the Texas educational system. Common Core removed Civics, misrepresented the US History of the Republic, and the character of Socialism. Students need to learn the Declaration of Independence, US Constitution, Amendments to the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights, how the three branches of government interrelate, why the Electoral College is so important and the Judicial System.

It's the law. Parents Rights Under the Texas Education Code 28.004, parents have the right to: Have a say in which sex ed curriculum is adopted. Parents, guardians, and community members may attend the two public meetings of the School Health Advisory Council (SHAC) prior to a sex ed curriculum recommendation being made to the school board, and may attend and provide public comment at the school board meeting at which the sex ed curriculum is adopted.

America is a country of great ideals, progress, invention and a leading economic nation. We are NOT a racist failure. " I believe with all my heart that standing up for America means standing up for the God who has so blessed our land. We need God's help to guide our nation through stormy seas. But we can't expect Him to protect America in a crisis if we just leave Him over on the shelf in our day-to-day living." Ronald Reagan

Strongly Agree

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.-- Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776 -

Strongly Agree

Gender shall be determined based on a student’s birth certificate as outlined in Section 33.0834 of the Texas Education Code. In cases where a student’s birth certificate is unavailable, other similar government documents used for the purpose of identification may be substituted.

I believe in the tenants of the Christian faith as revealed to us through the Holy Scriptures and the teachings of the Mothers and Fathers of the Christian faith throughout the ages.

Strongly Agree

When I challenged this information in an adopted textbook, it brought it to the publisher and the SBOE. In turn, my committee on Curriculum and Instruction, upon my assistance, requested an update to the which aligned with Texas State Law. This update took immediate effect as of September 2, 2022.
