OTHER INFORMATION
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?
The school should notify the parent of the pregnancy and let the parent take over the conversation.
ECONOMY
Student loan forgiveness unfairly shifts the financial burden to those not responsible for student debt.
Neutral
I have received student loan forgiveness due to predatory lending practices. My husband has received some as well for being in education. I can understand people's feelings on both sides of the issue.
What is your position on government funding of public education from Pre-K through college?
I believe it's best if the states handle their own public ed funding. I'd prefer if the federal level of funds, reverted back to the state.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
With regard to public schools, what does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
From a school-level perspective, there should be no religious influence. From a student perspective, they are freely able to voice and practice their religion without consequence.
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.

Sex Ed conversations should be parent led.
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, Science, American History Civics, Personal Finances, Physical Fitness Information Technology, Vocational Learning Foreign Language, Art & Music
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.
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.
Jesus is the one true God. He came to earth, died for our sins on the cross, and was raised to life. If you admit your sin and ask Jesus to forgive you, He will. I try to live my life according to the Bible as it is the word of God.
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.
Neutral
I believe the Bible is clear. Marriage is one man and one woman. I also recognize that governments are run by people of various viewpoints and beliefs. Governments have the legal authority to make law.
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
