Why are you running for the school board?
I want to give parents a say; I want to actually ensure the schools are safe; I want to see better fiduciary responsibility and I want to bring back common sense learning.
What makes you a good candidate for the board?
I will be that voice that needs to be heard.
Please name a public leader you admire and explain why.
(No answer.)
What is the most important issue facing your school board, and what would you do about it if elected?
The introduction of political curriculums are the most important thing today facing our schools. 2020 was the mask mandates and the closing of our schools. This created a lot of mental health issues. We need to get back to common sense learning. We need to stop adding new curriculums when there was so much lost during COVID. I would seek to keep politics out of schools.
How concerned are you about school safety, and what if anything should be done to improve it?
I am concerned about the schools’ safety. We should be securing our schools. Unfortunately this can’t be answered in 150 words.
Do you have any concerns about the way history is taught in your district’s schools, and if so, what are they?
With the schools trying to keep the curriculums a secret, I am extremely concerned about what is being taught in our classrooms. The curriculums should be open to the public. Also only the authorized curriculums should be taught.
Do you think there are circumstances when books should be removed from school libraries, and if so, what kind of books should be removed?
Absolutely. Certain books don’t belong in schools. Books should be actual age appropriate and not sexually explicit material that is introduced in the schools as age appropriate.
