QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Disagree
I believe humanity begins when the embryo has developed into a fetus.
What role should the school serve in helping a student with an unwanted or crisis pregnancy?
Educating parents and students on preventative measures especially during times of puberty as sexual interest may become more impulsive during this stage of development. As well as directing students and their parents to resources to provide for unintended pregnancies.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Agree
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
Public education is a United States of America constitutional right and I believe it should be fiscally government funded.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Teachers should be required to instruct students on mandated curriculum even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Disagree
EDUCATION
Abortion and gender-affirming providers, including Planned Parenthood, should be a resource for instruction or services in the school.
Disagree
Consistent discipline creates a safe and orderly environment, which is essential for student learning.
Agree
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
Educators should give students a thorough education in America's founding documents and cultivate American patriotism.
Agree
I support Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).
Agree
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Reading/ Language Arts, Math, Science, Civics, Art ,Music, Physical Fitness, Social Emotional Learning, Personal Finance,
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.
Agree
Which should students have: equity of outcomes or equality of opportunities?
Equity of outcomes
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.
A
VALUES
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Faith, Family, and Community and every human being should be treated with decency, dignity, and respect.
Who is responsible for teaching sexual education to children, and what is the appropriate age when it should be taught?
I believe ultimately the parent or guardian should decide.
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
The human anatomy, the reproductive system, and stages of pregnancy.
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.
Agree
Children have the right to be protected from sexual grooming (including drag shows and explicit materials) in schools and libraries.
Agree
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.
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.
Agree
Parents should have full and timely access to any and all records, including school and medical records, associated with their minor children.
Agree
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Agree
I believe a voter registration card is sufficient for voting
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.
Agree

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.
Disagree
School districts should promote the most up-to-date, evidence-based professional medical guidelines for the prevention and intervention of any deadly virus outbreak or pandemic. The goal should be to protect the health and safety of the entire school community by closely following the latest scientific consensus on effective strategies for viral disease mitigation and control. Proactive planning and transparent communication will be transparent.
