8. Even the World Ruby Assn has barred transgenders from playing in female sports, because of the greater risk of injury to biological females. 9. Any parent, doctor, counselor or mental health professional advocating gender change for a minor should be investigated and charged with child abuse. This insanity has to stop, people's lives are being harmed for what is a transitory condition. 10a, 10b. These are generally employed, productive individuals who have equal standing under the law, the same protects as the rest of society. There is no discrimination or other constitutional issue concerned, only a desire for power.

Candidate's Comments:
The public schools are indoctrination mills for Marxist ideology and the LGBTQ agenda. Homeschooling and private schools are the options. The state education funding for a student should follow the student, whether homeschooled, private or religious school. The state should no longer have the monopoly. NEA and AFT should be barred from the classroom, limited only to wages, benefits and working conditions, their PACs barred from contributing to campaigns. Federal funding is 66% of the regulatory overhead in a classroom and should not be taken, as the funding is up to 8% of the district's funding, but does not hire one teacher for the classroom. It is this funding that is the power behind the NEA's LGBTQ insanity and the Marxist hate America curriculum.

Candidate's Comments:
Abortion in most cases results from the irresponsible act of two individuals who can't be bothered to acquire contraceptives/condom prior to engaging in sex. It is time people were educated to be responsible, not excused for promiscuity and bad decisions. The child can always be put up for adoption. PPH is an abhorrent organization engaged in profiting from misery and stupidity. Selling slaughtered babies is barbaric. The problem with euthanasia is the potential for abuse. A committee or bureaucrat will decide life and death. No.
