QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
What role should the school serve in helping a student with an unwanted or crisis pregnancy?
Public Schools should be neutral with any student with any type of pregnancy. Public Schools were created for educational purposes, not to take the place of parents.
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Agree
I agree with this statement. There are always exceptions to the rule and that would be within the medical realm which is "over my pay grade."
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
Free Enterprise and the right to private property are the basic freedoms that our forefathers fought for.
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
The less amount of government influence, the better. When the government offers money, beware, there are strings attached.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Teachers should be required to instruct students on mandated curriculum even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
Curriculum can be taught without violating religious beliefs. Morals, on the other hand, are in the eyes of the beholder.
EDUCATION
Abortion and gender transitioning providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Strongly Disagree
Public Schools are not meant to take the place of parents!
Consistent discipline creates a safe and orderly environment, which is essential for student learning.
Strongly Agree
Discipline is just as important as praising.
Do you believe print and digital material available or presented to students should be easily accessible for public review, including those without children enrolled in school?
Yes
Transparency is the strongest form of communication.
Educators should give students a thorough education in America's founding documents and cultivate American patriotism.
Strongly Agree
You should have strong knowledge of your Country.
I support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
Strongly Disagree
It is a disastrous theory.
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
The U.S. Department of Education has been a major failure!
If a member of the public flags (challenges) a book as inappropriate and the school board disagrees, should the board impose a moratorium on when the book can be challenged again? If yes, for how long?
No. The public should have the right to challenge material, no matter how many times, that is within the public school system.
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
