KEY ISSUES | |
1. Provide the top 2 reasons why you want to run for school board? | I want to be a person who holds the line for families against the mounting pressure from outside ideological influences. Right now, we have made way for discipline to be taken away from the teachers to use, we have also allowed sexual identities and proclivities to be the focus from a staff to a student level. What has taken a back seat is actual instruction for the foundations of math, reading, writing, and science. |
2. Name the top 2 issues with your current school board or district and how you will address each issue. | This echo's the reasons I am running. |
3. Do you support school choice? Why or why not? | Yes, but with boundaries that protect the right to homeschool or use school choice as a parent sees fit for the betterment of their child/children. I recognize that pursuing school choice and a "voucher" program, does enable the government to some degree to step inside the process more than they already are. |
4. Who do you think is the ultimate authority in a child’s education and wellbeing? | The parent. |
5. Do you agree with the statement “America is inherently racist”? Why or why not? | Absolutely not. |
6. What are your thoughts on “Comprehensive Sex Education”, “Diversity Equity and Inclusion”, and “Social Emotional Learning”? Should these be a part of our public education curriculum or supplemental learning materials or left to parents to teach and why? | Sex Education is something that should be given by families at home, under their supervision and guidance to what they feel is appropriate for their child. If a school provides an option to families to utilize something they have prepared and the family can choose to use or not use it, that is the only way I am comfortable with "comprehensive sex education". |
7. With declining academic achievement in reading, writing, math, and science in schools across the nation, how would you address these issues if elected? | If elected, re-focusing on the foundational principals of the learning areas is paramount. Reviewing current curriculum and putting an actionable plan in place to be utilized if and when that curriculum is needed to be changed. Our current board, under the pressure of our lone willing leader, Victor Perez, has showed that it can be done. As the vote has just been accepted to changed the failing literacy curriculum for phonics based reading for K-3. This can be done, we just have to have the right people in places to enact it. |
8. Safety is a major concern for most families, how would you support and encourage safety measures for girls in their private spaces, if elected? | Your biological sex that you have at birth determines what private spaces you use. |
9. Do you believe Title IX is in jeopardy in our public education system today? | The only jeopardy that is being posed is from a perversion of the law. At the time Title VI was passed only 42% of students enrolled in colleges were female, that was in 1972. As of 2021, those numbers have drastically increased, one could argue due to Title VI in large part. As of 2021 it sits at 59.5% per the Wall Street Journal. This was in direct response to an extension of the Civil Rights Act. Where I believe this is in jeopardy is only when we decide that men/boys can now identify as women, and then take that identification and use it as a weapon against women in sports and private spaces. We are not only jeopardizing the future of women's sports as a whole, but we are putting our daughter's security under full assaults'. |
10. Do you have any other endorsements? If so, please list them. | Not publicly as of yet. |
