Question Response Comments/Notes
1. Providing state tax credits and education savings accounts to enable parents to choose what school their child attends. S* I am for school choice. We need to make sure the dollars allocated to school choice are actually making it there.
2. Reserving girls’ sports exclusively for biological females. S* I have 3 girls in sports. I've witnessed girls losing in the sport of their choice to biological males. Biological males have no place competing with biological females. Girls also deserve to have the right to privacy as a female in the locker room.
3. Separating restrooms, locker rooms, and other privacy areas based on biological sex. S* Girls and boys have the right to be respected based on their biological sex. Government has no place to tell parents that their child must change or use a restroom with the opposite sex.
4. Permitting students to discuss their Christian faith with others during non-class time on school premises. S* I support free speech. I'm against censoring students to discuss religion.
5. Allowing school personnel to refer students to abortion providers. O* The school has no right to supersede the rights or WILL of a parent regarding a student's pregnancy.
6. Requiring signed permission (opt-in) from a parent before a student may participate in sex education classes or presentations on gender identity theory. S* Parents should have the right to keep their child from participating in sex education classes or gender identity theory presentations. It's the choice of a parent, not government institutions.
7. Increasing transparency by requiring videos or documents shown to students [which are not part of pre-approved curriculum] be preserved for easy review by administrator and parents S* Increased curriculum transparency is always the best option.
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* This is not appropriate as it further divides society teaching students to judge one another.
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* Gender identity theory has no place in the school system even for school staff to be forced against their will to recognize a male as female and vice versa.
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* Sexually explicit materials have no place in the school system.
