QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Strongly Agree

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

Refer the student to their parents or Apple Pregnancy Center. Other than that, the school should not have input.


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?

Students and parents would be better served if the public school/government stayed out of education. Too much money (tax dollars), is wasted once the government gets involved in education. Because of anti-christian, anti-family agendas, students are failing miserably in the public schools.


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

Moral, christian, conservative teachers are being silenced in the classroom and forced to teach only what is mandated, at the fear of losing their jobs. Because of that there is now an agenda to indoctrinate students on issues that have no place in the classroom, i.e. trans, gay, sex, abortion, anti-law enforcement, green new deal, evolution...at the expense of History, Math, Sciences, Civics and Reading. The US can no longer compete on the world stage.


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Disagree

Again, these issues should NEVER be included in curriculum. Further, Planned Parenthood should NOT be tax funded.

Consistent discipline creates a safe and orderly environment, which is essential for student learning.

Strongly Agree

Because of progressive, anti-discipline agendas, teachers no longer have control of their classrooms.

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

My question would be; what do they have to hide?

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

Strongly Agree

Including REAL, factual, verifiable history. Constitution, Revolutionary War, Civil War and the World Wars. Constitution Day (September 17), needs to be observed in every school, as it is mandated.

I support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).

Strongly Disagree

It is racist! If Diversity was actually observed, there would not be a leftist, progressive woke School Board, devoid of Conservative members for the past 2 decades.

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

Strongly Agree

I would include parents and churches.

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

Am. History, Math, Science, Civics, Personal Finances, Foreign Language, Vocational Learning and Physical Fitness.

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

Give back educational control to the parents.

Which should students have: equity of outcomes or equality of opportunities?

Equality in all opportunities.

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


VALUES

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Born-Again Christian, with a Biblical world view. I believe all rights are God-given and can not be taken away by Government. I believe that we should live out the 10 Commandments.

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

Parents, when they feel their child is ready.

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

I do not believe that Sex Ed should be taught in the schools.

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

It is mutulation and goes against the will of God.

Children have the right to be protected from sexual grooming (including drag shows and explicit materials) in schools and libraries.

Strongly Agree

Parents need to take back control of their children in the classroom. I will strongly advocate for parental authority.

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

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

Parental rights!

Parents should have full and timely access to any and all records, including school and medical records, associated with their minor children.

Strongly Agree

Parental rights!


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree


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


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

I voted in these primaries and general elections:

2014 Republican Primary 2014 General Election 2016 Republican Primary 2016 General Election 2018 Republican Primary 2018 General Election 2020 Republican Primary 2020 General Election 2022 Republican Primary 2022 General Election

Although I consider myself a Conservative, the Republican Party most closely aligns with my views and convictions.

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

I always look to the Bible to see what God has to say regarding an issue.


2ND AMENDMENT

Faculty who are licensed to carry and have had ongoing training should be allowed to carry guns at school in order to respond to an active shooter situation.

Agree


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 Government relied on faulty science and lied to the American public, therefore can not be relied upon to make mandates.
