QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
What role should the school serve in helping a student with an unwanted or crisis pregnancy?
The school should have social workers in place, through the student services program to talk with the student, only if the student asks. However, the school should not in any way, shape, form or fashion be involved in giving the student information or options. I believe that is up to the student and her parents. I would remind any student that a conceived child, even unwanted or from the event of a crisis is a gift from God, and there are adoption agencies available, to protect human life always.
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
I believe there should be limits with the federal government when it comes to education. I think the government gives away too much when it comes to federal student loans. I am pro choice when it comes to schools as well as home schooling.
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
No teacher should have to violate their deeply religious beliefs protected by the first amendment of the constitution.
EDUCATION
Abortion and gender transitioning providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Strongly Disagree
There are only two genders period. A female and a male. No child should ever be aborted. That is simply put as murder.
Consistent discipline creates a safe and orderly environment, which is essential for student learning.
Strongly Agree
Consistent discipline is needed at all levels and is key to providing those types of environments.
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
Without question it should be made available for public review. We want to ensure that every child is not being forced to read or have access to materials that the students and parents would not be comfortable with.
Educators should give students a thorough education in America's founding documents and cultivate American patriotism.
Strongly Agree
There is no question that students should absolutely be taught education using our great countries founding documents.
I support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
Neutral
It is important to support diversity and equal rights. However, these programs under the guys of DEI curriculum has been used to try and push critical race theory. Critical race theory should never be taught in our K-12 school system.
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
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
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
Language Arts, Mathematics, American History, Civics, Science, Arts & Music, Vocational Learning, Information Technology, Social Emotional Learning & Foreign language.
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child instead of the bureaucracy, through a program which allows parents the freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.
Strongly Agree
The money should always follow the child, and the parents should have the right to choose their school of choice.
Which should students have: equity of outcomes or equality of opportunities?
Equality of opportunities. We do not want a world where every kid gets a participation trophy.
Which type of written parental consent should be obtained before students are taught courses such as Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE)? (A) Opt-In. (B) Opt-Out. (C) None.
B. Opt in only!
Who should make decisions about whether or not a book is appropriate for children? A) the elected school board members; B) an outsourced community committee
The final decision should be the board, however, there should be a parent advisory committee to provide input.
VALUES
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian, and believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins.
Children have a right to reach maturity without chemical or surgical castration, which would damage their healthy bodies through surgeries and may cause a life-long dependence on cross-sex hormones.
Strongly Agree
No child should ever be surgically castrated. Again, there is a man and a woman. Someone receiving surgery to transform to a different sex is against anything I believe in.
If sexual education is taught in schools, what is the appropriate age when it should be taught?
Sex Ed should only be taught to a student after their parent or guardian opts in to that. It should never be taught earlier than a freshman in high school.
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman essential to the formation and sustaining of a civil and prosperous society.
Strongly Agree
God only created two genders, Man & Woman.
Parents have the fundamental right to raise their child in accordance with their beliefs and values, including the right to make decisions about the child's education and healthcare.
Strongly Agree
Parents should always know what is best for their children.
Parents should have full and timely access to any and all records, including school and medical records, associated with their minor children.
Strongly Agree
Parents should have full access to their minor children's information 24-7.
School children have the right to be protected from sexual grooming including drag shows and explicit materials with pictures of sex acts and graphic language.
Strongly Agree
At no time ever should a child be sexually groomed, exposed to drag shows or explicit material.
Should schools be giving instruction on how to engage in sexual acts, the pleasures of sex, sexual orientation, and gender identity or should they instead focus on educating students about the science of reproduction?
Absolutely not! This is something that should be discussed by the student and their parents only.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
You should absolutely have to show legal photo identification to vote.
EQUALITY
Biological males should not 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 Agree
Absolutely should never be allowed.
ABOUT YOU
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
NO
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
NO
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to foreign policy and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Very Conservative
Life long Republican
2ND AMENDMENT
The right to bear arms is fundamental and must be protected.
Strongly Agree
Without question. This should never have to be discussed period.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES
In the event of a pandemic, school districts can mandate whatever health precautions they deem necessary (including masks and vaccines) to protect students and staff.
Strongly Disagree
The parents should have the option if their child should wear a mask or not. It should not be up to the school system or school board. It should 100 percent be up to each students parents.
