QUESTIONNAIRE

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Agree

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

Family Counseling with consent of parent.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

The Ten Commandments should not be displayed in public school buildings or court houses.

Agree

At school, students should be able to speak freely and civilly about matters of conscience and faith, including Christianity.

Agree

Agree


NATIONAL SECURITY

Yes our relationship with Israel is very important. They have been a close ally and supporter of this country for many years.

Strongly Agree


ECONOMY

It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.

Agree

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

Government should provide funding to public education Pre K to 12th grade. After graduation family should pay for additional education. My family could not afford to pay for my education. I chose to join military and my education was completely paid by government for serving my country. There are also many scholarships available for students to apply for college assistance. Students can also get a part time job to pay for higher education.


EDUCATION

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

Agree

I believe the funds that are used by the U.S, Department of Education could be better spent by sending the money directly back to school districts so that the education of our students can be greatly improved.

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

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.

2ND AMENDMENT
