Question	Response	Comments/Notes
1. Providing state tax credits and education savings accounts to enable parents to choose what school their child attends.	S*	Parents should be able to have their children educated according to their choice. Not bureaucrats.
2. Reserving girls’ sports exclusively for biological females.	S*	This is a no-brainer. People who think boys should participate in girls' sports have no brains.
3. Separating restrooms, locker rooms, and other privacy areas based on biological sex.	S*	People suffering from sexual dysphoria should seek mental help for themselves. Not burdening others with their sickness.
4. Permitting students to discuss their Christian faith with others during non-class time on school premises.	S*	Another "no-brainer". See above.
5. Allowing school personnel to refer students to abortion providers.	O*	Stick to basic STEM education.
6. Requiring signed permission (opt-in) from a parent before a student may participate in sex education classes.	S*	The parent(s) need to know exactly what is taught in these classes first.
7. Increasing transparency by requiring videos or documents shown to students be preserved for easy review by administrators and parents.	S*	That AND accountability for teachers or staff who expose students to inappropriate videos or documents.
8. Providing curricula that advocates critical race theory and its emphasis on defining people as oppressors or oppressed based on group identity or privileges.	O*	All of that crap needs to go to the dustbin of history.
9. Requiring teachers to use "she" to describe a biological male student who identifies as a female, even if the teacher offered a reasonable alternative.	O*	No compromise or excuse. Males are boys and females are girls.
10. Specifying in school policy that materials containing visual depictions of people engaging in sex acts or explicit written descriptions of people engaging in sex acts is not age-appropriate for the school’s curriculum and libraries.	S*	Schools must remain committed to teaching STEM. That "S" doesn't mean "sex".
