American History, Mathematics, Language Arts, Science, Personal Finances, Vocational Learning,
American civics education should emphasize our nation's founding principles of liberty and equality.
Strongly Agree
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 loss of local control in education is too high a price to pay in exchange for federal dollars.
Strongly Agree
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
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
VALUES
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Christian totally
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
exactly
Who is responsible for teaching sexual education to children, and what is the appropriate age when it should be taught?
Parents. i introduced my children at around 14.
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) -- Physical and emotional health outcomes; contraceptive methods; consent; abstinence; sexual orientation and gender identity; human anatomy/the reproductive system; abortion methods and side effects; stages of pregnancy and fetal development; sex acts and pleasures of sex
I believe this is a parental issue and schools should not be involved in the normal course of education. fhe school "Could" put a curriculum together to be taught after school, with parents' consent and approval of the material, for older children 10th grade or older
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality that is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree
No healthcare diagnosis or treatment, whether mental, reproductive, or otherwise, should be given to a child without first receiving written consent from the parent.

No school official should be involved in the sexual transitioning of a student, including the use of alternative names and pronouns.
Strongly Agree
Therapy to help children turn from unwanted same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria should be banned.
Strongly Disagree
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I am father of 4, grandfather of 9 and Great Grandfather of 5. I have always been involved with all of my children's educational needs and desires. and i have had lots of practice. I want to get all of the nonsense out of our schools. I want our children to be able to concentrate on their education and not be distracted by made up genders or adult prejudices. i drove a school bus for three years for broken arrow, All grades. I have NEVER witnessed racial prejudices on any of my routes. Racism is taught, not imbedded. adults who are prejudiced teach children to hate and look down on other children, it does NOT happen naturally. Children start life innocent. they have to be taught to hate. I would never put up with that in my personal life or my professional life
