QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Strongly Agree

What role should the school serve in helping a student with an unwanted or crisis pregnancy?

Encouraging the student to meet with their parents, Doctors or Pastor


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

Teachers should be required to refer to students by pronouns which are misaligned with their gender at birth even if it would violate the teacher's moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree


ECONOMY

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Strongly Agree

What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?

Government funding supports Title 1 provisions. State funding is the primary source for funding in Public education. Government funding is currently limited and therefore not a major position for me.

Abortion and gender-affirming providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.

Consistent discipline creates a safe and orderly environment, which is essential for student learning.

Educators should give students a thorough education in America's founding documents and cultivate American patriotism.

The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child instead of the bureaucracy, through a program which allows parents the freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.

Equality of opportunities

VALUES

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe in Jesus Christ and the Christian faith as my spiritual and moral foundation

Who is responsible for teaching sexual education to children, and what is the appropriate age when it should be taught?

Parents, grandparents or guardians
