KEY ISSUES
1. Provide the top 2 reasons why you want to run for school board?

I am running for the Board of Education to restore our academics to excellence by eliminating the racially divisive, ideologically driven curriculum & mandatory staff training that are in our schools and instead reestablish merit-based grading practices and pay raises/promotions, and even mandating Constitutional Literacy as a graduation requirement.

I also want to protect Parent’s Rights against all forms of tyrannical governmental overreach by increasing transparency and accountability of the school administration, eliminating the ever-growing list of required vaccines, while also protecting female sports and scholarship opportunities.

2. Name the top 2 issues with your current school board or district and how you will address each issue.

1. $20+ million deficit - I will propose the following:
Cut the top administration’s salary by 15-20%.
Call for an immediate freeze on all out-of-town training, for all administration, staff members and employees
Discontinue participating in programs that provide digital devices (which require expensive subscriptions) to all children in elementary school and return to books and paper. This would be a Win-Win because I believe the children’s scholastic scores would improve with the reduction of digital interference.

2. End Woke Education & hold the Administrators Accountable
Fire our Marxist Superintendent, Dr. Charles Foust
End all mandatory staff training that is based on Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity.
Enact a policy that strictly forbids the use of any curriculum, or supplemental teaching material that does not help promote the restoration of a healthy, non-political education for our kids.

3. Do you support school choice? Why or why not?

Absolutely. I believe competition always breeds excellence. Why would it not be the same for educational providers?

4. Who do you think is the ultimate authority in a child’s education and wellbeing?

Unless decreed otherwise by a court of law, the Parent is always the ultimate authority in a child’s education and well-being.

5. Do you agree with the statement “America is inherently racist”? Why or why not?

I do not believe America is inherently racist. I believe America was founded by imperfect men and women who, while imperfect themselves, recognized the need for a more perfect union among people of all races, backgrounds, and beliefs, and willingly offered their life, honor, and freedom for the promise of Liberty for many generations to come.

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?

and Inclusion”, and “Social Emotional Learning”?
I do not support any education provided by Planned Parenthood.
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion = Division, Exclusion & Intolerance = Didn't Earn It
Social Emotional Learning is a waste of tax-payers dollars. We send our children to school to learn scholastics, not to talk about their feelings.

This should not be part of our public education. These matters should be left to parents to teach because a parent knows the child better, is invested in the health, happiness and well-being of the child; and teaching children otherwise undermines and attempts to the nuclear family.

7. With declining academic achievement in reading, writing, math, and science in schools across the nation, how would you address these issues if elected?

To address the declining academic achievement in reading, writing, math, and science in schools, I would immediately restore merit-based grading practices and serious consequences for misbehavior, along with merit-based hiring and promotional practices.

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 would ensure female students are safe in their private spaces by enacting a policy that provides enforcement of the laws and policies currently enacted to provide such protection and consequential remedies for any violation.

9. Do you believe Title IX is in jeopardy in our public education system today?

Yes, I believe the original intent of creating Title IX is in dire jeopardy. By allowing the current administration’s grotesque amendments, over 50 years of advancement in female sports has been virtually wiped away. Females no longer have a fair fight any more. More and more scholarship opportunities and Podium placements are becoming unreachable and even undesirable.

10. Do you have any other endorsements? If so, please list them.
