Strongly Agree

School districts should be able to use taxpayer money for lobbying the state legislature.

We have elections for a reason.

That's up to the voters of each state.

iVoterGuide Notes:

EDUCATION

What is the function of the local school board?

Manage the budget, set standards, goals, approve curriculum as well as a wide range of other issues. Hire & Fire the Superintendent.

Who should have the authority to set curriculum and determine resources used in those curricula?

School Board

When should parents be restricted from speaking in school board meetings?

When they are threatening individuals. It's appropriate to be angry and raise your voice. Some behavior is just illegal.

Please list in order the following priorities in relation to the role of a K-12 public school (omitting any that do not apply): Mathematics, Information Technology, Science, Political Activism, Personal Finances, Gender Identity, Physical Fitness, American History, Critical Race Theory, Language Arts, Art & Music, Vocational Learning, Sexuality, Foreign Language, Social Emotional Learning

American civics education should emphasize our nation's founding principles of liberty and equality.

Strongly Agree

Yes

Before students are taught courses such as Comprehensive Sex Ed (CSE) or Social Emotional Learning (SEL), they must opt-in with written parental permission.

Agree

This curriculum should be approved by the school board. Parents should have a right to opt out of most of it.

The loss of local control in education is too high a price to pay in exchange for federal dollars.

Strongly Agree

This is a tough one now that most schools are dependent on federal dollars.

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

1619 Project is not even accurate.

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

Yes. 100%


VALUES

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I'm a Christian. I have a traditional biblical worldview.

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

not at all. Not fair to girls.

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

Parents are responsible. Biology based, age appropriate sex education should start in middle school.

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

Human anatomy/the reproductive system, Abstinence, Consent, stages of pregnancy and fetal development.

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.

Strongly Agree

No school official should be involved in the sexual transitioning of a student, including the use of alternative names and pronouns.

Strongly Agree

People should be able to vote without photo identification.
