QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Neutral
Human life begins at conception. While I believe this, I also believe in the freedom of choice, similar to how God grants us free will. Personal decisions, especially regarding women's bodies, should be made by individuals and parents, not controlled by the government. It's dangerous for politics and policies to overstep and dictate these choices, as that is not reflective of God's gift of free will.
What role should the school serve in helping a student with an unwanted or crisis pregnancy?
Schools should provide a supportive and non-judgmental environment for students facing an unwanted or crisis pregnancy. This includes offering access to counseling, health services, and information about available resources. Schools should also connect students with community organizations that can provide further assistance, ensuring students receive comprehensive support while continuing their education.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Neutral
Free enterprise and private property are vital for economic growth, innovation, and individual freedom, driving investment and wealth creation. However, these can also lead to inequality and market failures. A balanced approach combines the benefits of free enterprise with government intervention to ensure fairness, address market issues, and promote social justice, creating a more equitable and sustainable economic system.
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
I support government funding of public education from Pre-K through college, as it ensures equal opportunity and promotes economic growth. However, it's crucial that this funding is fair and not used to intentionally disrupt or dismantle the public school system or push specific agendas. The focus should be on enhancing educational quality and access for all students.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Teachers should be required to instruct students on mandated curriculum even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Disagree
It's important that students learn in a safe environment that respects diversity, including religious beliefs. While mandated curriculum is essential, it should not make students uncomfortable or violate their moral or religious beliefs. Education should value and respect the diverse backgrounds of all students, ensuring a supportive and inclusive learning environment.
EDUCATION
Abortion and gender-affirming providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Choose not to answer
I believe that schools should focus on providing comprehensive, evidence-based health education that equips students with the knowledge to make informed decisions. The involvement of any external organization should be carefully evaluated to ensure it aligns with the educational goals and values of our community.
Consistent discipline creates a safe and orderly environment, which is essential for student learning.
Agree
Consistent discipline is essential for a safe and orderly learning environment, but it's equally important to balance it with restorative practices. This approach ensures that students are not only held accountable but also receive the support they need, fostering a more supportive and holistic educational experience.
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
Absolutely. Transparency is crucial for community involvement, and ensuring that print and digital materials are accessible for public review helps build trust and engagement, benefiting everyone, including those without children in school.
Educators should give students a thorough education in America's founding documents and cultivate American patriotism.
Neutral
While teaching American patriotism is important, it is equally crucial to educate students on the diverse histories within our nation. A thorough understanding of America's founding documents should be complemented by inclusive education that covers African American, Hispanic, and all other histories, reflecting the rich tapestry of our country. This holistic approach ensures that all students see their heritage acknowledged and valued.
I support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
Strongly Agree
I support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion because Jesus embodies these principles. As a woman of color, I believe in creating learning environments where everyone feels loved, welcomed, and not judged. The Bible teaches us to love one another (John 13:34), show no partiality (James 2:1), and embrace all nations (Matthew 28:19). While some misrepresent DEI, it remains a beautiful expression of the inclusive love Jesus teaches us.
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Disagree
I do not support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education. While local control is important, having a federal framework ensures consistency and quality across all states. If states face governance issues or lack resources, their education systems could suffer. Maintaining this balance allows for local needs to be addressed while upholding national standards and protecting students.
