QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

The Second a life becomes a life, it is a life until the Second they die. YOUR EITHER PREGNANT OR YOUR NOT. Just like your either a Murderer or your not.

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

None! they are a school not a medical Facility!


ECONOMY

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Strongly Agree

If its not your degree, then its not your responsibility to pay others debts they made!

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

Costly, the government does not run efficiently, because for to long people have taken advantage of bureaucracy. Less government in education the better!


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

With regard to public schools, what does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

Nothing! There is no debate, We need God in Schools period!!! If we don't, it will be replaced by something. So God Needs to be in Schools!


IMMIGRATION

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enhances the safety and security of communities by identifying and detaining illegal aliens.

Strongly Agree


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Disagree

They are not the kids friends. Murder is Murder!

Consequences for bad behavior create a safe and orderly environment, which is essential for student learning.

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Agree

I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Strongly Agree

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) -- abortion methods and side effects; abstinence; consent; contraceptive methods; human anatomy/the reproductive system; physical and emotional health outcomes; sex acts and pleasures of sex; sexual orientation and gender identity; stages of pregnancy and fetal development

Give a mouse a cookie, they will ask for milk. SexED in School has been corrupted, & should not be taught by people who are not parents or even medically trained. Many simply shouldn't be teaching it. they are not qualified!

It is discriminatory for a school district to cause academically eligible students to forfeit participation in U.I.L. competition when the student opts for instruction outside of the public school system.

Strongly Agree

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

American History, Art & Music,Civics, Information Technology, Language Arts, Mathematics, Personal Finances, Physical Fitness, , Science, Foreign Language

Public schools should prioritize academic achievement and building character necessary to preserve American traditions and self-government.

Strongly Agree

Agreed!!!!!!!!!!

School choice creates competition, and that competition will push public schools to improve their educational systems.

Strongly Agree


VALUES

Biological males should be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.

Strongly Disagree

Keep Men out of Women's Sports!!!!!

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I'm a Christian. I believe in the Father, Son, And Holy Spirit. I believe in Jesus's Mother, Mary, the Mother of God. I believe in the Angels and all the Saints. I believe Jesus sits at the Right hand of the Father. And he will come again to judge the living & the dead. & the Kingdom of God will have no end! I believe Jesus is the King of Kings!

Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.

Strongly Agree

I support the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., that people should be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.

Strongly Agree

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.

Strongly Agree

Mental health conditions such as anorexia and gender dysphoria need to be treated, not affirmed.

Strongly Agree

School library books that have literary value, as determined by experts, should be exempt from obscenity laws.

Strongly Disagree

The obscene books are so terrible even the Adult readers need to get therapy after. These disgusting books have no business in the hands of Children. And the Adults who put then in the hands of kids should be arrested for Child Abuse. If its not good enough to hand out in the street? Then it is not good enough for the Classroom! Very simple!!!
