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

1. Promote Education not Indoctrination
The woke ideology must be stopped.
2. This community College operates as quietly as possible. We are looking to be transparent to the community when possible.

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

1. We are working to bring a community group to review curriculum on an annual basis. Leftist ideologies are openly taught without an unbiased look at the other end of the spectrum.
2. We will work at making board issues and items brought to a vote more transparent to our local communities when possible. We are reviewing board policies to see where if necessary changes can be made.

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

Yes. Dollars should follow the child.

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

Parents

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

Absolutely not. People are inherently good. Media and government divide us for nefarious reasons.

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?

All of the above needs to be removed from our public education curriculum! Parents need the control. Each child should be given information about sex when mature enough to handle it. Physiology of boys and girls only taught in school.

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

See answer above. Community involvement in curriculum review

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?

2 sexes only.

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

Yes

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

Working on written endorsements from our Republican County Central Chairmen. Our district touches 8 counties. Others on the way from PCs in LaSalle County and a State Rep.
