| 4. Will you oppose sex-ed programs which are contrary to Church teaching? | I will do my best to ensure that the church teachings are the guideline. If this does happen then it would need to be taught at the right age. I feel that sex-end is taught too young now and that a lot of kids do not understand what is being taught. |
| 5. Given that the Gay Pride flag is a controversial political symbol which contradicts Church teaching on marriage & human sexuality, will you oppose any and all proposals to fly the Gay Pride flag at Catholic schools, at the board office, or to acknowledge and celebrate June as “Pride month”? | I believe that we should raise the flag... I don’t think it is up to us to make judgment on anyone as that is up to God to make the final decision. It won’t change anyone’s religion, values or morals. |
