QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Strongly Agree
God created human life and we should protect babies from the time of conception.
What role should the school serve in helping a student with an unwanted or crisis pregnancy?
Schools should encourage students to discuss the situation with their parents.
ECONOMY
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Agree
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
Pre-K improves school readiness and helps disadvantaged children. I don't oppose public education for those who need or want it, however, because government schools can be inefficient, I support school choice, vouchers, and other alternatives.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
With regard to public schools, what does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
I cannot force students to participate in religious activities, but I can allow students to pray or read their Bibles as long it does not disrupt class or look like it was school sponsored. Students can have religious clubs. Religions can be taught in an objective way.
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.
Agree
Although I agree with consequences, it is of utmost importance that the consequences are not used as punishment. Teachers also need to try to teach good behavior through positive reinforcement. They need to teach students the differences between good and poor choices, and not label the children as being "good" or "bad". Behaviors in children with Autism and ADHD are often misunderstood and not always delt with properly.
Educators should give students a thorough education in America's founding documents and cultivate American patriotism.
Agree
I support eliminating the U.S. Department of Education and giving control back to states and communities.
Neutral
While I agree with giving states and communities more control, I do want to know how this would affect services for students with disabilities.
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
This subject is something that should be taught by parents at home.
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, Math, Social Emotional Learning (within lessons and should not move into political or ideological views) Science, History, Physical Education, Music (needs to be more engaging, needs to have instruments available), Art, Information technology. Additional for High School: Personal Finance, Vocational Learning, Foreign language (as an elective if students want it)
Public schools should prioritize academic achievement and building character necessary to preserve American traditions and self-government.
Agree
School choice creates competition, and that competition will push public schools to improve their educational systems.
Strongly Agree
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 Christian who believes that God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross so that our sins can be forgiven. Because of this sacrifice, one day we will be in Heaven with our Lord. I believe in conservative values and family values. Parents have the right to partner with schools in making important decisions that affect their children's lives. Schools need to be transparent with families regarding what is taught in schools.
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.
Strongly Agree
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.
Agree
School library books that have literary value, as determined by experts, should be exempt from obscenity laws.
Strongly Disagree
Literary value should not override concerns about books with explicit content. Some books contain graphic content that is unsuitable for minors regardless of their literary value.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Strongly Disagree
ABOUT YOU
Have you ever been convicted of a felony? If so, please explain.
NO
Have you ever been penalized for sexual misconduct in either civil or criminal court? If so, please explain.
NO
I voted in these primaries and general elections:
2016 General Election 2020 General Election
What political party are you affiliated with?
Republican
When you consider your views on a wide range of issues from economic and social matters to immigration and religious liberty, which of the following best describes you overall?
Very Conservative
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.
Disagree
Then we have to worry about too many people having guns and not knowing what their mental stability is. Also, there is the possibility of students getting access if the faculty inadvertently leaves it unsecured,
