| KEY ISSUES | |
| 1. Provide the top 2 reasons why you want to run for school board? | Our school districts are failing our children. Academics are falling dramatically and teachers are not focused on what really matters (math science reading writing and accurate history). Spending has gotten out of control and it is not beniting our children the way it should. |
| 2. Name the top 2 issues with your current school board or district and how you will address each issue. | Academics and transparency |
| 3. Do you support school choice? Why or why not? | yes! In our district we do not have that choice. I am running for school board because a change needs to happen yet I plan on home schooling my children next year because we don't have school choice in our area. |
| 4. Who do you think is the ultimate authority in a child’s education and wellbeing? | Their parents!!!! |
| 5. Do you agree with the statement “America is inherently racist”? Why or why not? | No. Racism is taught |
| 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? | None of it belongs in our schools. Sex education should be limited to pregnancy and std prevention only. I feel the diversity equity and inclusion only creates a larger divide. Our children should be taught that all humans matter and we are all equal in the eyes of god. |
| 7. With declining academic achievement in reading, writing, math, and science in schools across the nation, how would you address these issues if elected? | I feel our curriculum needs huge reform and I will do everything I can to direct our schools back to a more classical form of education. |
| 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? | I feel that girls need their own locker room as do boys. If there is someone you want to cross over they either need to have their own gender neutral locker room or if that isn't an option the request should be denied. |
| 9. Do you believe Title IX is in jeopardy in our public education system today? | Yes. If boys are allow to compete in girls sports they have a huge advantage simple based on anatomy alone. |
| 10. Do you have any other endorsements? If so, please list them. | not yet |
