QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

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

Contact the parent. Work with the student and parent to get appropriate, life-affirming healthcare and refer to local crisis pregnancy centers that provide options that support life including adoption. Support the student and her family through each step.


ECONOMY

Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.

Strongly Agree

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

I do not support government funding of college. College should compete in an open market.


RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

With regard to public schools, what does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

Religion should not be part of the curriculum. I would not want government directing the instruction of faith. However, religion is part of history, such as our founding fathers' beliefs and our foundational documents, and should be taught. Policy should welcome students to form clubs around their faith and a moment of silence should be practiced to allow time for prayer/reflection. The phrase "separation of church and state" was to ensure no forced state religion.


IMMIGRATION

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) enhances the safety and security of communities by identifying and detaining illegal aliens.

Strongly Agree


EDUCATION

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

Strongly Disagree

Consequences for bad behavior create 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 eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.

Agree

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

abortion methods and side effects; abstinence; consent; contraceptive methods; human anatomy/the reproductive system; physical and emotion health outcomes; stages of pregnancy and fetal development

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

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

Public schools should prioritize academic achievement and building character necessary to preserve American traditions and self-government.

Strongly Agree

School choice creates competition, and that competition will push public schools to improve their educational systems.

Agree

The competition created by school choice will improve public schools only if the public schools can also perform on a level playing field. The burden of excessive regulation and bureaucracy a public school must operate under should also be closely examined and streamlined where appropriate.


VALUES

Biological males should 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 Disagree

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a woman of faith and have a personal relationship with God through His son, Jesus Christ. I believe God is who He says He is and will do what He says He will do. I believe I am who God says I am, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me and His word is alive and active in me. I believe His principles are truth and the foundation for fulfillment in life. God's principles include: the sanctity of life, creation of two genders - male and female and the establishment of marriage as the union between a man and woman. This is the foundation for a godly family, community and nation.

Government should recognize and support the fundamental right and essential duty of parents to direct their child's health and educational well-being.

Strongly Agree

I support the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., that people should be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.

Agree

I agree with the principle of judging people by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.

Strongly Agree

Mental health conditions such as anorexia and gender dysphoria need to be treated, not affirmed.

Strongly Agree

School library books that have literary value, as determined by experts, should be exempt from obscenity laws.

Strongly Disagree


ELECTIONS AND VOTING

People should be able to vote without photo identification.

Strongly Disagree
