OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Neutral
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
None
ECONOMY
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.
Agree
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
I feel that those who are in NEED of funding for education for children should have it. We have a loan program for higher education and we should have a loan program that helps the need for those who want a better education than their city or state can provide.
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.
Neutral
The Ten Commandments should not be displayed in public school buildings or court houses.
Strongly Disagree
At school, students should be able to speak freely and civilly about matters of conscience and faith, including Christianity.
Strongly Agree
NATIONAL SECURITY
The best way to maintain peace is through a strong military.
Agree
EDUCATION
Every state should mandate K-12 standardized tests and the use of teaching software which aligns with Common Core standards.
Disagree
We need BETTER standards than the Common Core. The CC needs a reboot that is more robust and culturally increased. We have to evolve our standards of testing and even teaching.
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
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
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 Agree
The loss of local control in education is too high a price to pay in exchange for federal dollars.
Choose not to answer
VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality that is necessary for our system of limited government.
Agree
It did. However the same religion sustained and perpetuated slavery for over 400 years. Christian men that framed this country upon the belief of God through Jesus the Christ had and still do, have a responsibility to see ALL men free, both 400 years ago and now. God says that He and His word does not change. He is the same God both today, yesterday and forever more. True Christians cannot be hypocrites to its past and present.
I support allowing public high school students to participate in athletic competition based on the gender with which they identify instead of biological sex.
Disagree
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
see the church website www.kcclv.org
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
