OTHER INFORMATION

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?

Schools should prioritize abstinence education as the primary means to prevent unwanted pregnancies. The role of the school should be to provide comprehensive education, emphasizing the importance of responsible decision-making. In cases where a student faces an unwanted pregnancy, the school should offer compassionate support, including access to counseling and crisis pregnancy resources for both the student and their family.


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?

Government funding of public education from Pre-K through college should prioritize accountability, parental choice, and the promotion of traditional moral values. It should respect local control, ensure curriculum is solely academic and is patriotic in nature. Curriculum should prioritize practical skills and highlight the value of a national free republic. Trades should be taught as well as classes that encourage entrepreneurship, teach fiscal stewardship and teach patriotism.


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


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Disagree

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

Strongly 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.

Strongly Agree

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

Strongly Disagree

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

American History Civics Mathematics Language Arts Science Art & Music Foreign Language Personal Finances Physical Fitness Vocational Learning Information Technology

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

Equality of 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.

A


VALUES

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that he is part of the triune God and that we are made to have an eternal personal relationship with him. I believe we were created to submit to God because he is the author of life and knows what is best for every single person. The only path to God is through Jesus, by asking for forgivenes of our sins and asking Jesus to be the Lord and Savior of our lives. This is the meaning and fulfillment of life.

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

Parents are responsible for this, and they should decide what age is appropriate. I do believe however that some parents are uncomfortable with this task and it should be available as an option to parents to have this taught in middle school to students as an opt in. I also believe parents should have access to the scope and sequence, the syllabus, and the curriculum being used for this type of class ahead of time so that they can judge for themselves what the content of such a course would teach. I do believe it incumbent on public schools to make sure that curriculum used for sex education is factual only and does not include gender identity information or ideology in any form.

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

human anatomy/the reproductive system; stages of pregnancy and fetal development, abstinence.

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

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

Strongly 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.

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

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

Strongly Agree


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
