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?
Inform parents and guardians of the student, work with community to help the student and incoming baby. Keep the student at school.
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
Teachers should only teach common sense knowledges to their students, and they should be busy enough to do just that. So-called mandated curriculum has to be knowledge learning focused, not an ideology mixed one.
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 plays some critical role in certain area in public education, such as funding for special education, in-need students. Other than that, I think government, federal government in particular, should keep itself out of k-12 education.
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
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 think DEI has been dividing the country for too long.
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Strongly Agree
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
Mathematics Language Arts Science Civics American History Vocational Learning Art & Music Foreign Language
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.
Neutral
In Loudoun County, we can spend money wisely on our public schools given the fact that Loudoun is one of the richest counties in the country, and not many private schools are in the county (we are also far from other private schools). As a school board member, the school budget will be on my watching list constantly.
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.
B
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.
Strongly Disagree
All public schools should be assigned armed police - resource officers in Loudoun. Cost shouldn't be the problem - nothing can buy a life, students or teachers.
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.
Neutral

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Christian and believe God create man in equal. America is a land of free and God's favor, it gives everyone equal opportunity to be success, rich or poor. I believe merit-based education.
Who is responsible for teaching sexual education to children, and what is the appropriate age when it should be taught?
I think biology teachers should teach sexual education to children in scientific way without embarrassing students.
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
abstinence; consent human anatomy/the reproductive system
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
A bit confusion here. Should parents have the right to disallow children being harmed by those procedures?
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.
