| Do you agree that parents, not the state, have the inherent right of primacy in education of children? | no response | Yes: "primacy should be in hand of those parents who have a belief that they should be the primary source of their child(s) education. I do believe that it takes many to raise a child and with public school system, and parents involvement, the child will have the benefit of all parties who have vested interest in the child's well-being. | no response |
| Will you defend the inherent right of parents to be notified in advance regarding any lesson, speaker or presentation involving controversial issues such as abortion, contraception, homosexuality, and gender ideology? | no response | Yes: "We have to recognize that in a public school setting, not all lessns fall in line with various backgrounds and philosophies at home. It is good practice to send this information home and have the parents/guardians have the final say. Information should be open and transparent for the entire community. The school should respect the wishes of parents." | no response |
| Do you agree that parents should have the right to withdraw their children from classroom lessons or presentations involving controversial issues such as abortion, contraception, homosexuality, and gender ideology? | no response | Yes | no response |
