QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Strongly Disagree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Mother's life in jeopardy.
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Strongly Disagree
Individuals are responsible for their own provision.
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
Yes, but the funding should follow the child at the parents' election, where their child needs to go to school.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Governments should define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.
Strongly Agree
We are in a free country people can do what they want.
The Ten Commandments should not be displayed in public school buildings or court houses.
Strongly Disagree
We can use the Ten Commandments as a moral code for the society.
At school, students should be able to speak freely and civilly about matters of conscience and faith, including Christianity.
Strongly Agree
This is a free country everybody should be able to talk about in a safe environment.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Strongly Agree
Whether we like it or not we have enemies, so we need to have strong military.
EDUCATION
Every state should mandate K-12 standardized tests and the use of teaching software which aligns with Common Core standards.
Strongly Disagree
Standardized testing is necessary in some grades, but not all grades and not common core.. Kindergarten are too young. Curriculum should be left to the states to decide.
Parents are the ultimate authority in their child’s education and should be able to freely pursue whatever educational options they deem best for their child.
Strongly Agree
Parents should make the final decision to which schools their children program whether homeschool, private, or public. Although professional input in some cases is appropriate.
Before students are taught courses such as Comprehensive Sex Ed (CSE) or Social Emotional Learning (SEL), they must opt-in with written parental permission.
Strongly Agree
The parents know their own child.
I support the teaching of curricula (such as the 1619 Project, No Place for Hate, Second Step, etc.) that emphasizes slavery and racism as the foundation of American history.
Strongly Disagree
Project 1619 is representing a history rewrite. Not the true history.
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality that is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
Our Constitution was based on the Bible for morality and values.
I support allowing public high school students to participate in athletic competition based on the gender with which they identify instead of biological sex.
Strongly Disagree
Women have come a long way to be recognized, it sets women back to compete. I feel it is unfair.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Strong Judeo- Christian values based on biblical truth because the Constitution is based on biblical truths.
No healthcare diagnosis or treatment, whether mental, reproductive, or otherwise, should be given to a child without first receiving written consent from the parent.
Strongly Agree
Parents need to be informed and give consent.
